High CPU or RAM usage typically originates from applications or system processes running within the instance, not from the underlying hypervisor or physical host.
If you're noticing degraded performance, log in to your instance and identify the processes consuming excessive resources using command line tools like:
You can stop or restart problematic services to stabilize your instance.
If your instance frequently reaches its CPU or RAM limits during normal workloads, consider resizing to a larger plan from the Vultr Console.
