Customizable metric multiplier / threshold for rightsizing recommendation

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In some production enviroments, workloads are intentionally overprovisioned to allow for burst capacity, stability or failover requirements.
In most cases this is has to do with compliance and regulations bound apps.

We propose addig a metric multiplier or threshold to fine-tune rightsizing sensitivity, allowing users to define a multiplier on utilization metrics, so that only instances exceeding this adjusted threshold would be considered truly oversized.
This multiplier/threshold should be added on grouped (batch) or individual resources.

-this would reduce noise from marginal rightsizing recommendations
-aligh with internal operational requirements, policies or specific app requiremets
-support better alignment with real-world risk tolerance for perf vs cost.
