- `apiserver_flowcontrol_nominal_limit_seats`: Nominal number of execution seats configured for each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_lower_limit_seats`: Configured lower bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level
    - `apiserver_flowcontrol_upper_limit_seats`: Configured upper bound on number of execution seats available to each priority level

- Added the `SizeBasedListCostEstimate` feature gate (enabled by default), which changes how APF seats are assigned to `LIST` requests. With this feature, one seat is assigned per 100KB of data loaded into memory at once during a `LIST` operation. ([#132932](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132932), [@serathius](https://github.com/serathius))

  - **apiserver_flowcontrol_priority_level_seat_count_samples**: histograms of seats occupied by executing requests (both regular and final-delay phases included), broken down by priority_level; the observations are taken once per millisecond.

- Introduced new apiserver metric `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_seats`. This metric is analogous to `apiserver_flowcontrol_current_inqueue_requests`, but tracks the total number of seats, as each request can take more than one seat. ([#119385](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119385), [@andrewsykim](https://github.com/andrewsykim))

- Update kube-apiserver's priority & fairness work estimator such that 'max seats' is MIN(0.15 x nominalCL, nominalCL / handSize)
  

### Feature

- A new Priority and Fairness metric 'apiserver_flowcontrol_work_estimate_seats_samples' has been added that tracks the estimated seats associated with a request. ([#106628](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106628), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

      iptables, saving a bit of memory/time/cpu. (#106373, @aojea) [SIG Network]
- Watch requests that are delegated to aggregated apiservers no longer reserve concurrency units (seats) in the API Priority and Fairness dispatcher for their entire duration. (#105827, @benluddy) [SIG API Machinery]
