Skrime suspended me for "high utilization"

My utilization has not been out of the normal recently? This came with no warning, I wake up and all my sites are down.
@SKRIME can you provide explanation?
Comments
oh its this guy again
LowEnd, BigLoad
I must be my hosting providers' favorite customer 🥺
How much was it?
Testing the limits of unlimited / unmetered?
Kinda feels like this guy has an agenda.
How many TB did you drink today?
I suppose everybody has their kicks.
I find it better if providers state the resource limitations and caps.
You were probably a noisy neighbour, just adjust your usage slightly.
Is their support ticketing system not working for you?
Based on your thread history of hunting for cheap unmetered bandwidth VPS's and your LET username, are you sure you didnt use like 100tb in less than a month and then pull the "idk whats going on, my usage was completely normal" card? 💀
To be fair, @SKRIME said multiple times, even when asked directly, that it’s truly unmetered and that you can push as much traffic through it as you want with no fair use limits.
@Alyx Fair point to raise, but the suspension had nothing to do with traffic. That part is genuinely unmetered and stays that way. It was CPU.
On our regular plans the cores are shared with the other VMs on the node, so running them pinned at 100% around the clock isn't what those plans are for. That's the same CPU fair use we've described publicly in our offer threads. In practice we only step in when a VM sits at 100% permanently, and that's what happened here.
Out of curiosity, OP said it was suspended with no warning before. Was this intentionally or did he miss something, like an email or a ticket perhaps?
We offered a deal to this user but our prices had been a little higher than Skrime but did not seem the offer was suitable.
@NotFoundException No, there wasn't a warning beforehand. A VM sitting at 100% permanently affects everyone else on the node right away, so in that case we act first and talk afterwards.
I wonder what does this dude do on his servers to get punished every time
Probably punish his servers
mining monero for fun

remember: don’t buy from sites with nonsensical ToS
Buy a dedi and do what you want.
A DEDICATED might fit you
Be careful saying it's genuinely unmetered. OP is the person who used 800 TB in a month on a $3 VPS from Cloudblast and is the reason why they no longer sell unmetered and instead limit traffic to a mere 5 TB/month.
Why suspend if CPU usage is excessive rather than throttle? If you throttle to 25%, the server will show 75% steal but will still be operational. Then you've removed the immediate stability threat and have time to do the question-asking.
Lmao, logged back on and reading the comments. Skrime unsuspended, thanks Skrime good hosting provider. I'll try not to use 500TB this time around 🤗
Maybe if I had actually been mining Monero I would've been able to make enough money to rent a dedi
Idk man, it seems like everyone hates me I have no idea why 🥺🥺🥺
One is an incident, two is a coincidence, three is a pattern.
Must I resort to homelabbing
It really depends on your workload.
Let's say, you're hoarding data. Then @PulsedMedia offers great price for storage + BW. But then you have high CPU. So you have to get dedicated server, which is more expensive.
Getting off-the-shelf product is great, but power-users eventually have to customize, colo.
Homelabbing offers high control over your own resource. But be careful, don't use consumer grade gears
