Just be aware the warning could come back. You just moved the goal posts.

The 1GB default is probably too low for most deployments, I have a PR
to increase this: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/32042

No. I means the MDS cache is larger than its target. This means the
MDS cannot trim its cache to go back under the limit. This could be
for many reasons but probably due to clients not releasing
