Sudden increase in CPU load on all Droplets even though I changed nothing

Posted on May 1, 2015

I just logged onto my account to see that all my droplets had a a sudden, huge increase in CPU load.

Droplet 1 Droplet 2

In that time, I changed nothing and Google Analytics also said that there wasn’t an increase in users at all (Note that droplet 1 is not even public).

Any ideas?
