What causes this issue?

The average utilization of all of the CPUs in the host system. The
utilization includes both user and system usage of the CPU; it therefore
provides a correct view of the intensity of usage of the CPU and the
amount of reserve computing capacity.

How to fix this error?

A persistently high CPU utilization suggests that the computing capacity
of the CPU(s) are limiting the performance of the system as a whole.
Many factors can contribute to overly high CPU utilization; an analysis
is therefore necessary. If the problem is simply that there are too
manyprocesses active on the host system, then possible corrective
measures include moving CPU-intensive program runs to off-peak times or
to other host systems, dedicating the host system to database use, if it
is the database server, and increasing the number of or upgrading the
CPU(s).
Low CPU utilization in conjunction with poor SAP system performance
indicates that there is another bottleneck in the system that is causing
the CPU to wait for long periods.
