Every time i ssh to my vps server cpu spikes to 100%

consistent behavior
after ssh to vps - server cpu spikes to 100% and beyond…and does not go down until server crashes

I did top, and i can see that cursor process is the cause

I use vscode from now on to access my vps

anyone has an idea how i can prevent that cpu spike?

Hey, is it the server itself that hits 100% usage, or your local machine?

Hi, it’s a hostinger vps I access remotely, and I did not try to use the ai options in cursor as much I can remember, maybe asked a question in chat tab but did not share any file or library

If you are still having issues, try and check the Process Explorer (via CMD+Shift+P) and see what is using the most resources

funny, i checked again , right after i ssh to vps did top (Linux command) there and i saw cpu spike for 5 seconds or so and then all was ok…
i guess i have to avoid using chat or composer while im connected remote…

@kiwaiko do you still get the same problem every now and then? Both myself and a colleague of mine also use Hostinger for our sites and Cursor to SSH remotely into the sites. Same thing as you describe.

Massive resource spike and either crashes the server or kills the SSH connection. There is very little info out there of people having the same problem so any pointers in the right direction would be super appreciated.

Can you post this in a new Bug Reports thread please, and we can help you there?

Thanks :raising_hands:
