Karpenter issues wrt eviction, error, terminating as part of consolidation

Question

Environment:  EKS 1.25  & karpenter v0.28

With karpenter v0.28 , provisoiner having 
 consolidation:
    enabled: true

Facing lot of issues wrt pods having status Error/Terminating/Complete .

Though the desired number of replicas maintained as per the application deployments, always an extra pod spins up having status "Error/Terminating/Complete"

at EOD could see lots of pods stuck in the status("Error/Terminating/Complete")

Is there anyway the karpenter can delete these unwanted pods even after maintaining desired replicas of deployment

infact reached out to aws support prior raising issue, but no luck.

Everyone had their own version, nothing worked out

No concrete answer for this issue

Still we are facing evicted, terminated, complete, Error issues with pods

**Earlier dint see any issues with cluster autoscaler which shows karpenter behavior is different exclusively with "consolidation = true"
