- When feature gate `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` is enabled:
  - Limit the number of Pods tracked in a single Job sync to avoid starvation of small Jobs.
  - The metric `job_pod_finished_total` counts the number of finished Pods tracked by the Job controller. ([#105197](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105197), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

- 'Graduated `JobTrackingWithFinalizers` to stable.
  Jobs created before the feature was enabled are still tracked without finalizers.
  Jobs tracked with finalizers have the annotation batch.kubernetes.io/job-tracking.
  If the annotation is present and the user attempts to remove it, the control plane adds it back.
