Hi @IAmKonni,

In case you don't manage to find the root cause (based on the extensive info that @Steve-Mcl already has given), could this be of any help to you perhaps:

> Hi folks, I saw tonight a [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-consuming-100-cpu-power) about CPU usage being 100% at irregular moments, which makes it very hard to figure out the root cause. Because: Since you don't know when it happens you cannot simply start a profiling, because you cannot let the profiling run for e.g. 3 days. Since we don't have continious profiling, like professional tools (e.g. Dynatrace) offer. So I thought: suppose we could start/stop cpu profiling from within a custom node. Then you can start/stop cpu profiling : …
