Providers allowing 100% cpu usage for allotted time in a day?

I want to run background jobs but I don't care at what time they run in a day. Are there any VPS providers who allow couple of hours of continuous system (cpu & disk) usage during the allotted time slot?

    cpu yes, disk i/o no
    go for dedicated server

    I think most VPS providers could care less. You shouldn't be worried.

    Hetzner cloud - I can use CPU at max on whichever plan 24x7 and they don't care.

    Disk I havent tried.

    I think I should have asked about VPS providers who cater to the need of running background jobs. So all users on the system will be background job runners allotted specific time slot.

    I am aware of cloud solutions that provide dedicated cpu instances but they charge for 24x7 usage.

    @lentro is your boy.
    Spin up the machine, all the CPU (and GPU) are yours.
    Halt the machine, and you pay for storage only.
    Use another very cheap machine to send the spin up command via API.

    I don't mean their dedicated plans. Their regular plans (non-dedicated) you can use the CPU 24x7 100% - I've been doing so for the last 4-5 months, no issues.

    Same as contabo.

    I haven't really encountered many providers that have stopped me for CPU abuse, and sometimes I run some fairly heavy CPU-intensive tasks. Only providers that have actually stopped me were Virmach, Lightsail, DataIdeas, and NexusBytes (if I'm remembering correctly).

    Providers usually throttle the VPS rather than shutdown completely. However, I would like to avoid such scenarios.

    We don't throttle our VPS plans, we allow you to use a full core on the host node per virtual core that your VPS has. Also, we use enterprise NVMe in RAID so your disk activity should be fine.

    We only ever have an issue when a user's usage affects other users on the same host node. We don't oversell our nodes though so I don't believe we've ever had to warn a user for their usage.

    All of the providers I've listed (other than Lightsail) shut down the VPS completely iirc

    Use a cloud provider (AWS/GCP/etc.) and use their "Spot" instances, great for temporary compute.

    Yeah but you get billed for disk I/O. Good luck with that
