Hello,

I have currently used 1200 CPU seconds today and continually rising, but the problem is I’ve not used any consoles today. I have one task that runs daily but it exited successfully after 50s, and isn’t CPU intensive at all.

Any insights as to what is going on? Is my web app and MySQL database contributing towards this even though I believe it shouldn’t?

Thanks, Rory

It looks like the CPU usage on your account is coming from Jupyter/IPython notebooks. They continue to run, even when you're not viewing them, and when they're idle they "sip" CPU power at a rate of about a second per minute. You can kill them completely by going to the "Consoles" page and using the processes table at the bottom of the page to kill all processes with names like "jupyter", "sudospawner", or "kernel".

Ok perfect thank you! Is it possible in the future to implement something to stop this happening, as I’m sure I’m not the first person to have experienced this!

Sure, thanks for the suggestion!
