The current process_start_time_seconds does not work because a bug in the component-base library. The fix is here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96435 But that can take pretty long time before we can upgrade the dependency. So until then, we can use the workaround https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-lib-utils/pull/68 to fix that. This issue is to track that we need to revert this workaround back after we upgrade the dependency.
