- Renamed Label cluster to `storage_cluster_id` for `apiserver_storage_size_bytes metric` ([#124283](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124283), [dims](https://github.com/dims))
- Bumped the stability level of apiserver_storage_size_bytes to `STABLE` ([#123342](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123342), [@logicalhan](https://github.com/logicalhan))
