I'm having strange issue in cronjob. Few empty pods are created at random time.

PFA details related to cronjob: 1. kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/deploy.kubeconfig -n *** get cronjob

NAME                  SCHEDULE     SUSPEND   ACTIVE   LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
srp-sitemap-cronjob   5 12 * * *   False     0        7h53m           4d7h

2. kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/cluster.kubeconfig get pods -n *** -o wide | grep -i srp-site

srp-sitemap-cronjob-1628577300-tfl9g                      0/1     Completed   0          7h53m   10.241.28.194    npl9app17.ieil.net   <none>           <none>

3. kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.kube/deploy.kubeconfig -n ** get jobs srp-sitemap-cronjob-1628577300 -o yaml
