High CPU Usage on My VPS (Help)

The CPU of my VPS is experiencing spikes of 100% usage. I have had the same VPS on Cloudways (DigitalOcean) since 2020 with WordPress, and I have never had these problems before. My traffic is much, much lower than before. I also don't have any new plugins, and Cloudways support has not been effective.

Is there a plugin or a way to see what is causing the CPU usage to spike so much? On another server that is exactly the same, this doesn't happen, and the CPU usage remains at 10%.

Check your I/O rate and logs.

Some WP plugin may be buggy and writing in the background like crazy.

It can also be that server has been compromised and mass emails are being send out for example.

Disk usage is also above normal for a WP install.
