Title: CPU Usage Last modified: June 30, 2026 --- # CPU Usage * Resolved [ewhitaker1959](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ewhitaker1959/) * (@ewhitaker1959) * [1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-25/) * Cloudways identified admin-ajax.php?action =wprm_amazon_queue_update_products as the primary cause of sustained 100% CPU usage on my server yesterday (this happens from time to time). I’m running WP Recipe Maker Premium 10.6.1 and use the Amazon Equipment feature in my recipe cards. I noticed your changelog mentions improvements to prevent the Amazon update queue from overloading, but I’m still seeing this behavior. Could you help me determine why the Amazon queue is consuming so much CPU and whether there are settings to reduce the batch size, update frequency, or process the queue differently?

Could you reach out to [support@bootstrapped.ventures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-25/support@bootstrapped.ventures?output_format=md) directly instead? * If possible, send us the approximate number of equipment items using Amazon products, the current Amazon API timeout value on the WP Recipe Maker > Settings > Amazon Products page, and whether Cloudways saw any Amazon API errors such as `TooManyRequests`/ 429 around that time? * Happy to help you out there and have a look at what could be going wrong! * Kind regards, Brecht Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcpu-usage-25%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to reply to this topic. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-recipe-maker/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2967063) * [WP Recipe Maker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-recipe-maker/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-recipe-maker/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-recipe-maker/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-recipe-maker/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-recipe-maker/reviews/) * 1 reply * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Brecht](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brechtvds/) * Last activity: [1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-usage-25/#post-18952483) * Status: resolved
