6.12.6 - High CPU usage when idling

[JEZBRO]

So since updating to 6.12.5 and still after updating to 6.12.6 I've had this issue where the server is using 100% of half the threads, and using the terminal and the top command it says that systemd-journal is the culprit.

 

Fix Common Problems shows no issues, everything is up to date and I can't find anything related to this issue online.

Problem appears to be the container using journalctld, if you don't know which one it is, you can try disabling them one by one.

So I did what you said and it appears to be qBittorrent causing the problem. Any ideas about how to go about fixing that?

Recommend asking in the container support thread/discord, assuming one exists:

Your docker may have been compromised. Check the file if it has contents like WALLET, mine, or other keywords that indicate it's been used as a miner. I have a qbittorrent which got exploited and will use all the CPU to mine some coins.
