[Bug]: Nextcloud 33 cron.php uses a lot of CPU / postgres activity #59036
Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
Since upgrading Nextcloud to 33.0.0 (from 32.0.5), once per day the cron.php process maxes out the CPU (granted, it's a slow 1 CPU core DigitalOcean server) for about an hour before returning to normal. I can't find anything in the logs that would suggest what cron is actually doing or why it's taking up so much resources.
Steps to reproduce
- Run cron.php on a Nextcloud 33 installation on a 1-core VM?
Expected behavior
cron.php shouldn't cause so much CPU usage
