I want to find out if the CPU on my T2 or T3 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Windows instance is being throttled.
To verify if your CPU is being throttled, check the CPU credit balance and the CPU within the operating system (OS).
If the credit balance is close to zero, then the instance CPU is likely being throttled. To resolve this issue, you can either turn on T2/T3 Unlimited or change the instance type. For more information, see How can I resolve high CPU utilization on my T2 or T3 EC2 Windows instance if my CPU is being throttled?
Note: If T2/T3 Unlimited is already turn on for the instance, then the credit balance launches with zero credits.
If CPU utilization is peaking near 100% in Task Manager but is near the baseline in the console, then the instance's CPU is being throttled. To resolve this issue, you can either active T2/T3 Unlimited or change the instance type. For more information, see How can I resolve high CPU utilization on my T2 or T3 EC2 Windows instance if my CPU is being throttled?
How do I diagnose high CPU utilization on my EC2 Windows instance when my CPU is not being throttled?
I want to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks within my EC2 Linux instances. What advanced tools can I use with EC2Rescue for Linux to do that?
