- Fixed the reporting of elapsed times during evaluation of `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` decisions and annotations. The apiserver_validating_admission_policy_check_duration metrics will now show elapsed times and no longer be zero.

- Client-go: improved allocation behavior of the delaying workqueue when handling objects with far-future ready times. ([#83945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83945), [@barkbay](https://github.com/barkbay))

- Adds two new metrics to cronjobs, a histogram to track the time difference when a job is created and the expected time when it should be created, as well as a gauge for the missed schedules of a cronjob ([#99341](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99341), [@alaypatel07](https://github.com/alaypatel07))

  * Renamed Kubelet metric certificate_manager_server_expiration_seconds to certificate_manager_server_ttl_seconds and changed to report the second until expiration at read time rather than absolute time of expiry. 
  * Improved accuracy of Kubelet metric rest_client_exec_plugin_ttl_seconds.

- Because of the implementation logic of `time.Format` in golang, the displayed time zone is not consistent. ([#102366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102366), [@cndoit18](https://github.com/cndoit18))
