Unexplained CPU usage

Hi, I am showing quite a lot of CPU usage over the last week or so. I have no scheduled tasks and I have not done any work on my project during this time. The only thing I can think that might help explain it is that I made a Notebook and then deleted it. It seems that this has been happening since then. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

yes- jupyter notebook servers do have a tendency to chew up cpu time even when it is idle. to completely stop it, go to the consoles page, hit the fetch all my processes button, and kill the jupyterhub processes.

That's the thing. The consoles Running Processes page says that I have nothing running.

We did just restart the machine that your notebook server was on for maintenance ~6hrs before my original post- thata would have cleared down the processes. are you still seeing cpu increases?

Thanks for the reply. I will update this thread after some time has passed and let you know. Really appreciated. :)

The unexplained CPU usage has stopped. Thanks.

Excellent -- thanks for confirming!
