Server running slow? What the usage warnings mean
The panel warns you when CPU or memory has been maxed out for half an hour, or your disk is nearly full, and shows what's using it.
When your server is struggling, games lag, scripts time out and the server can stop responding. The panel watches for this and shows a warning at the top of your server's page.
When you'll see a warning
- CPU has been at 90% or more for the last 30 minutes.
- Memory has been 90% or more full for the last 30 minutes.
- C: is almost full: less than 5 GB, or less than 10%, left.
Short spikes never trigger a warning. Only sustained load does.
See what's using it
The warning lists the busiest programs and how much each is using.
- End closes that program straight away, like End task in Task Manager. Anything unsaved in it is lost, so only end things you don't need.
- Programs marked Windows are part of Windows and can't be ended from here.
- Programs marked game server are your game servers. Use Stop or Restart on the Game installs tab instead.
What to do next
- A game server is the busy one. In txAdmin, the Resources page shows which scripts use the most. Restart or remove the heavy ones, and check the Server log for errors.
- Something you don't recognise or need. Click End. If Windows starts it again, it's a service, so stop it in Services on the server.
- The disk is full. Click Free up space. See Free up disk space.
- Still maxed out? Your server needs more than its plan has. Click Upgrade plan to get more CPU, memory or disk without reinstalling.
Hide it for today
Click Hide for today if you already know and are dealing with it. It comes back tomorrow if the problem is still there.

Tip: Turn on Discord alerts to get told about maxed-out CPU and memory, or a full disk, even when you're not in the panel.
