Aside: you might also want to look at kube-state-metrics <https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics>, which can give you a range of pod metrics <https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/pod-metrics.md> including the pod start time. Then an expression like time()-kube_pod_start_time should give you the pod age.
