Too much error log from node claim controller

[GnatorX]

Description

Observed Behavior:

"message":"failed to update nodeclaim from cost tracking",
"name":"bah",
"level":"ERROR",
"NodeClaim":
{…},
"controller":"state.nodeclaim",
"controllerGroup":"karpenter.sh",
"controllerKind":"NodeClaim",
"error":"nodeclaim is missing required labels (missingLabels=[node.kubernetes.io/instance-type karpenter.sh/capacity-type topology.kubernetes.io/zone], nodeclaim=bah",
"logger":"controller",
"missingLabels":
(3)[…],
"namespace":"",
"nodeclaim":
{…},
"reconcileID":"85362c98-0886-4236-83e8-b2c2560abef3",
"time":"2026-01-07T22:24:13.773Z"

We have these log lines that spam for every new node. When nodeclaims are created I don't think these labels are populated, I believe they are only added when the node is launched.

Expected Behavior:
We should move these logs to debug instead.
