Prerequisites
I have checked the Wiki and Discussions and found no answer
I have searched other issues and found no duplicates
I want to report a bug and not ask a question or ask for help
I have set up AdGuard Home correctly and configured clients to use it. (Use the Discussions for help with installing and configuring clients.)
Platform (OS and CPU architecture)
Linux, AMD64 (aka x86_64)
Installation
Other (please mention in the description)
Setup
On one machine
AdGuard Home version
v0.107.73
Action
High memory and CPY usage during a couple of hours every day. This issue started after upgrading to "v0.107.73".
I have 512mb allocated to AdGuard Home and have never had this issue before the upgrade. RAM usage is normally around 300mb and for CPU, below 1% The high usage starts at around 9-10pm (09:00-10:00). I can see small peaks before the upgrade but never to this extent.
Cant find any settings that starts anything daily during that time.
journalctl during those hours today (2026-03-13):
