How do I configure default resource limits for tasks?

you can update the config block for flyteadmin here: https://docs.flyte.org/en/latest/deployment/cluster_config/flyteadmin_config.html#section-task-resources the defaults will get injected when a task fails to specify a resource value and the limits are used to ensure a task never requests or set its limits to greater than the config values

It seems like defaults are being read as limits in my case for some reason

yup this is the intended behavior, there's no concept of "default limits" if a resource is unspecified, the default value gets injected as the task request and limit

Excellent, thank you so much
