+### Warning about metrics' deprecation
+
+The following metrics will be removed in a future version:
+- `k8s.node.cpu.utilization` (replaced by `k8s.node.cpu.usage`)
+- `k8s.pod.cpu.utilization` (replaced by `k8s.pod.cpu.usage`)
+- `container.cpu.utilization` (replaced by `container.cpu.usage`)
+
+Users can use the following metrics instead:
+- `k8s.node.cpu.usage`
+- `k8s.pod.cpu.usage`
+- `container.cpu.usage`
+
+Users can enable the `.cpu.usage` metrics by default while disabling the `.cpu.utilization` ones by using the
+`receiver.kubeletstats.enableCPUUsageMetrics` feature gate.
+Once the feature gate goes to beta this will be the default behavior and any configurations enabling the deprecated metrics will be failing.
+
+More information about the deprecation plan and
+the background reasoning can be found at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/issues/27885.
