I0328 13:34:48.091330 25599 request.go:665] Waited for 1.033772408s due to client-side throttling, not priority and fairness, request: GET:https://xyz.com/apis/pkg.crossplane.io/v1alpha1?timeout=32s

If you're finding this issue because you're seeing messages like the above when you run kubectl please make sure you're using the latest version of kubectl - i.e. 1.25.0 or above. Similarly, other tools built against client-go 0.25.0 or above should not experience these issues that are due to overly aggressive client-side rate limits.

Original issue follows below.

What problem are you facing?

We want to limit which resources are installed on our cluster so that we can restrict which resources can be used in AWS by our cluster's users.
In addition to this, we are having throttling issues due to the large amount of CRDs, being able to turn of 90% of the the unused CRDs would make the throttling issues go away.
