openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix High CPU usage (>140%) and service stalls on Debian 13 after upgrading to 2026.4.8 [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix involves investigating and addressing the CPU usage spike issue in the OpenClaw process after upgrading to version 2026.4.8.

Guidance

• Review the OpenClaw documentation and release notes for 2026.4.8 to check for any known issues or configuration changes that may be contributing to the CPU usage spike.
• Consider providing the additional diagnostics (process profile, logs, and runtime status snapshots) to the maintainers to help them better understand and address the issue.
• Investigate if there are any specific workload patterns or message handling scenarios that trigger the CPU usage spike, to help identify potential bottlenecks or optimization opportunities.
• If possible, try to reproduce the issue with a minimal workload or a simplified message handling scenario to isolate the cause of the problem.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue is specific to the 2026.4.8 version of OpenClaw on Debian 13, and may be related to the normal bot workload. However, without further diagnostics or details, it's difficult to provide a more specific fix or workaround.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Collect and provide additional diagnostics to the maintainers, as this will likely help them identify and address the root cause of the issue.
