Is this CPU usage normal?

I do not like seeing max out red bars in the cpu thing... but maybe that is normal?

Perfectly normal. The only time I get concerned is if the overall load stays pinned at 100% for several minutes and I don't have any operation running that I am aware will cause that.

 

When an application asks for CPU time, you want the CPU to give 100% to get the task done ASAP. The usage bars are average load over a short period, and you want 100% for short bursts.

 

Some containers are meant to run 100% all the time, so if you are running one of those, you get concerned when the load drops.

 

Information in context. What is bad some times is correct other times.
