What causes this issue?

This monitoring tree element (MTE) displays the measurement of the CPU
utilization by the process of the relevant server node, averaged over 30
seconds. The value is specified in CPUs, meaning that, for example, a
value of one would mean that precisely one CPU of the host is fully
utilized by the server process. The percentage of the entire processing
capacity of a host used by the server process in this example depends on
the total number of CPUs on this host.

  Cause:
  
  High Workload: The process may be handling a high volume of transactions or background jobs, leading to increased CPU usage.
  Inefficient Code: Poorly optimized ABAP code or inefficient SQL queries can lead to excessive CPU consumption.
  Resource Contention: Other processes or applications running on the same server may be competing for CPU resources.
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for the SAP system or the underlying operating system can lead to suboptimal performance.
  Hardware Limitations: The server may not have sufficient CPU resources to handle the workload effectively.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Analyze Workload: Use transaction codes like ST03N (Workload Analysis) or ST04 (Database Performance Analysis) to identify which transactions or processes are consuming the most
