Having an issue allocating more than 1 cpu to a pod that is running code that requires more processing power.

I have set my limit for a container to 3 cpu's

and have set set the container to request 2 cpu;s with a limit of 3

But when running the container it does not go over 1000Mi of 1 cpu.

There is very little running during this process and keda will start new nodes if needed.

How can i assign more cpu power to this container?

UPDATE

So i changed the Default Limit as suggested by moonkotte but i can only ever get just over 1 cpu

New Nodes are coming online when more containers are required, through Keda.

each node has 4 cpu, so sufficient resources

this is the details of each node. in this it is running one of the containers in question

It just isn't using all the cpu allocated
