FYI release notes still don’t include reference 36812.

I’m seeing 100% CPU utilization on a MAX BR2 Pro HW4 to the point where I had to roll back to 8.5.4. In the hour I had RC 3 running, it became unresponsive at least 10 times. This included not being able to connect to the device via the web interface, and it would not process or pass traffic during those times as well.

I did catch several times where the CPU was at 100% during this issue. Happy to provide more details, and can open a case if needed.

I’ve recovered 2-3 LTEA-US modems now with the new method. Something I’ve noticed is Wi-fi as WAN connections stop reporting while module is in recovery. Nothing is logged in the events. I will try to get the next one up with a video to show this.

If possible to review the internal code to fix any bugs, recovery should not mess with InControl2 reporting or other WAN connections.

Adding again to the CPU 100% issue - this was reported starting with 8.6.0 beta 2, and continues yet through RC3; testing has been done on both the B One 5G, and the B One models. If a window opens where the CPU is not pegged, I can try to capture a diagnostic log, however, when at 100% the device is unresponsive.

Reverting back to 8.5.x resolves the issue.
