Latest update with credits detection is implemented so bad… At 2:30 AM I thought my PC is going to lift off. Had to get up and see why it woke me up… F…ing Credits detection… How do I limit CPU for such background tasks? It can’t scan for TV Shows files changes (always need to do it manually), but useless credits detection goes full throttle… Turned off completely now.

Yes, I would also like clarification as to why credit detection requires 100% of my CPU. Nothing else Plex does puts that sort of load on anything, there must be some issue going on, can’t be intended behaviour.
