Kubernetes Environment - 1.14.7

Jenkins Kubernetes Plugin - 1.31.3

We have noticed after the update of the plugin from 1.31.2 to 1.31.3, the pods that get created are twice or more as a part of the plugin interaction with Kubernetes.

This happens often but sometimes it just creates a single pod as requested and moves on. In the below example screenshot, you can see similar pods getting created in a span of 30 or more seconds.(see the time) What could be causing this?

We use both pod templates that is populated in the configure cloud section and also we generate the pod manifest yaml dynamically based on labels. This occurs in both the cases.

We also noticed that pod is being retained for 5 minutes or so before terminating. We double checked the pod retention policy is set as 'never' at global level.  

Thanks for your time.
