As of late… my plex (official container) is using a ton of CPU all day every day.  
Usually you can see what’s going on under alerts, you can see it’s scanning for metadata and what not… but now, there is nothing, and this is what I see when I run top in the host

It’s not really stopping it from working properly, it still works and performs well, but there is no reason to have a pegged CPU at 100% all day if there is no activity.

Any way I can debug this?
