CPU limit value does not work consistently

[harmonyp]

Can someone please explain to me why the CPU limit seems to sometimes only work for a few hours?

Also is there any alternative ways on limiting CPU. In production environments where you are selling CPU (fair share) resources how else can I limit CPU abusers

Nothing? This must be a key feature in some production environments.

You could also use the "CPU units" to decrease the CPU ressource priority of a guest...but not sure if that can be changed on the fly without rebooting the VM like with CPU limit.

That's an option but not really ideal.

This seems to happen daily at 6:30-7AM. Nothing I know of runs then. I do have daily PBS but that runs much earlier.
