Ah, I see! The BIAS reflects the number of placement groups it should create. Since cephfs metadata pools are usually very small, but have many objects and high IO, the autoscaler gives them 4x the number of placement groups that it would normally give for that amount of data. So, your cephfs_data is set to a ratio of 0.9, and cephfs_metadata to 0.3? Are the two pools using entirely different device classes, so they are not sharing space? Anyway, I see that your overcommit is only "1.031x". So if you set cephfs_data to 0.85, it should go away.
