Can I exclude low-stock items from discounts?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling with how to prevent discounting products that are running low in inventory. I want to avoid potential stockouts or overselling, but my current discount system doesn't have built-in inventory filtering. I need a strategic approach to automatically exclude or limit discounts on items with limited stock, ensuring I can maintain sales momentum without risking inventory management issues. What are the most effective methods to prevent discounting low-stock products?
