Does Always-on task increase cpu usage?

The code I used before did not exceed 1000s even if it was running all day. But I found that it stopped running at dawn, and I decided to use 'always-on'.

I applied the code by referring to the help, but the cpu usage exceeded 4000s in just two hours. Did I make a mistake? Or if I use always-on, is it supposed to be like that?

Always on tasks do use CPU time, just like scheduled tasks and console processes

I'm sorry. I'm a Python beginner, so I don't know what it means. I don't understand why usage is increasing so abnormally, rather than the fact that we use CPU.

Perhaps there is something different about how your code runs when you've set it to run as an always on task. Check the logs of the always on task to see what may be happening.
