Hi, Since December, my CPU usage has increased by a factor of 6. After a reboot, it briefly drops to normal levels, but then increases and stays high. It’s been a long time since I made any major changes to HA or added anything new, certainly longer than December. Is there any way to check what i…

Due to the high CPU use it is probably not this, but if you use the CPU Speed integration it may be worth checking. [image] PSA: CPU Speed Integration Issue I have been chasing an intermittent CPU temperature issue for months. Today I finally found the cause:…

Unfortunately that’s not it. Is there no way to check the CPU usage and see what’s causing it? I’d like to avoid disabling one integration at a time.

The profiler looks very interesting. As we are only a few days away from 2023.02, I’ll just wait for the update. After all, it has been running like this for over a month now. I’ll come back here and let you know if it helped when the update is released. Thanks for the quick answers!

I have found out what is causing the CPU load. After doing a backup, it jumps from 5% to 30% CPU load and stays there until I restart HomeAssistant. I run HA as a VM in Proxmox and do daily backups. I’ve tried snapshot and stop mode but it happens both ways. Is there anything I can do about this? …

Hi Boerny, I would be curious how you finally solved this issue. Same phenomenon on my side. Many nightly backups go well but every now and then there is one where the CPU load stays at around 30% in my case. Usually it’s around 1%. Only a restart of the entire system does help, than the CPU load …

I am also finding this to be the case, due to Proxmox backups. I check the HASS VM cpu stats in Proxmox , and the container CPU spikes right when the backup begins within Proxmox. But then it never reduces back to normal. Also finding if I have a browser open with a HASS tab, the browser cpu spikes …

Never solved it. Just told HA to restart every night.

Same thing is happening to me, also running HA on proxmox and using proxmox backups: [image] Funny thing is, that HA doesn’t recognize it: [image]

High CPU usage since December, how can I check what is causing it?

Yes there are a couple of ways but they are not easy to interpret.

Profiler Scan (this will work better after 2024.2 is released with Python 3.12 support as it will show the thread info). But is still worth trying now:

Also Py-Spy.

Run the scan and ask for help interpreting the results in this topic if you need it:

2025.8 very slow
