Warn of imminent saturation in a more urgent way.

#2462 (closed) is almost what I want but not exactly.

We've had a situations recently for GitLab.com where something changed in our environment that caused an imminent saturation event:

In this situation, we had capacity planning correctly create an issue for the problem, and we would have had the EOC paged for complete saturation, but there's nothing that clearly indicates in a better way 'imminent' saturation.

Andrew created a page for 'will fill up in 6 hours' but I really don't think this belongs with the EOC.

It feels like there should be a way to either utilize the incident process to create a 'this is going to fill up in 3 days' incident and assign to the team who owns the service OR alert the team that they're about to run out of resources very quickly.
