Limiting CPU Usage on Linux Processes Using CPULimit. In this tutorial, I will share a little bit about how to limit CPU usage on a process using cpulimit. I myself often use this tool when a process consumes an unreasonable amount of CPU. I once experienced a situation where, while using Burp Suite, the CPU usage on my laptop spiked to 100%. With a utility like cpulimit, it is certainly very helpful.

Install CPULimit

The installation of CPULimit is quite easy. For Debian and Ubuntu users and their derivatives, simply run the command:

Bash

sudo apt install -y cpulimit
