the bin/magento cron:run entry in my crontab seems to cause a rather high load on the cpu (php's and mysql's cpu usage are permanently both at around 25% each) - I checked by disabling the crontab entries.

When I run bin/magento cron:run manually, it runs for about a minute - how can I find out what is causing this behaviour?

I already tried disabling a few suspicious modules, with no luck!

  • I have just suddenly noticed similar behaviour on one of my sites. Did you get anywhere with this?

  • I cleared my cron_schedule table within my database and it cleared mine up? Not sure if it was the same issue that I had as i run mine for atleast 20 mins and it never finished but after that it takes a second or 2.

  • some processes are running since before the VM launch, which means they broke and never got to update their status, and magento cannot clean them (only STATUS_SUCCESS, STATUS_MISSED, STATUS_ERROR get cleaned)

@harri was right - since bin/magento cron:run seems to work through all the entries in the magento.cron_schedule table, this is what slows down the system when there are a lot of entries.

I dont have a mail server set, so all the jobs that try to send emails are pending - an easy fix is to either set the mail server, or regularly clear the cron_schedule table!
