UCG Fiber - high CPU usage

Question

It's been some month I have due UCG Fiber in HA setup (shadow mode), no problem so far except that this is the second time in about 10 days that the CPU goes crazy:

10 days ago, on first occurrence, I logged in via SSH and restarted the control plane (unifi) service and everything was back to normal and now the same thing.

Unifi OS 5.1.19

Network 10.4.57

We have some traffic but I would not say crazy traffic

with about 45-55 clients where mostly virtual servers and some public exposed (web) service.

Already tried to enable/disable IPS, traffic identification, ad block, etc: no difference at all. The only way to decrease the CPU usage is restart the unifi service.

Do you have any idea of what the root cause could be?
