We are getting a lot of warnings in our GCP kubernetes cluster event logs from the event-exporter container.

Thanks.
This means that there are newer version(s) of the watched resource after the time the client api last acquired a list within that watch window.
The client needs to re-list to acquire the newest version. This is a somewhat common occurrence when using the client api as logging is buried deep within.
