Report

The issue here is the current value is reported as zero according to keda scaledobject's hpa based on trigger scaler of type metrics-api. The correct value should be in range of quintillion.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is to report the exact quintillion value for number.

Actual Behavior

The actual behavior is consistently being reported for external metric as zero.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Define metrics-api trigger that is based on metric whose true value is large (in range of quintillion).
2. Describe the hpa and see the current value remains zero over time.
