Understanding this 'CPU steal time' graph

I am observing a CPU steal time graph from my HostHatch VPS and require clarification. The visualization shows periodic spikes to 45 percent steal, yet my application performance remains acceptable.

Key observations:

  • Spikes correlate with 15-minute intervals, not workload
  • Neighbor IP in same /24 shows similar pattern in reverse
  • My steal drops when neighbor's rises
  • No TOS violation on my end (Section 14.3, Acceptable Use)

I suspect a neighboring VM is abusive. How do others interpret this pattern? R.R.

if it ain't broke, rust it
