I looked at our server&#8217;s diagnostics and discovered all 32 CPU&#8217;s were 100% maxed out by the MySQL service.  I took a look at what queries were currently being run using <code>SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;<\/code> and it was only a list of CleanTalk queries, so I disabled the plugin and the server resources returned back to normal.  If I reenabled the plugin, it doesn&#8217;t take very long before all the server resources get eaten right back up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have this plugin active on several different sites and servers and I don&#8217;t seem to be running into this issue anywhere else (yet at least).  I also have it running in a couple duplicate dev environments of the site its causing to crash and it seems to be running normally.  I also don&#8217;t know what I could have done to trigger the issue since it happened out of nowhere.  I hadn&#8217;t updated this or any other plugin and I hadn&#8217;t deployed other any changes to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Testing badly in CleanTalk 6.55 and 6.56 in WordPress 6.8.1 on PHP 8.3.21 with MySQL 8.0.42-33.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18481493","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18481493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18481493\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18481493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
