[Bug] Insomnia Helper CPU up to 50% while Idle #2015

Open stephanoparaskeva opened 4 years ago

stephanoparaskeva commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug

CPU Usage rises to 50% max sometimes while insomnia is Idle, and Insomnia Helper is to blame in activity monitor. Tanked my performance in editor.

Specs Macbook Pro Catalina i7 4cores 2.8ghz

Insomnia Version: latest Plugins: 1 plugin 'insomnia-plugin-default-headers' Account: none

not logged in on insomnia at all

gschier commented 4 years ago

Can you post a screenshot of activity monitor? This is what I'm getting

image

Can you try backing up app data and seeing if it happens in a fresh install too? It could be request or response data causing issues.

  1. Local app data folder from Help > Show AppData Folder
  2. Rename (backup) folder to something else so you don't lose it
  3. Relaunch Insomnia
  4. When done testing, put backed-up folder back where it was
stephanoparaskeva commented 4 years ago

I've done a fresh install, problem hasn't re-occurred since rebooting laptop. Didn't manage to screenshot activity. Got a feeling it will happen again so when it does will post here.

stephanoparaskeva commented 4 years ago

@gschier Here insomnia helper is only using 6%, but I think there is a leak somewhere as I'm sure Insomnia is requesting high CPU usage from the system and being stopped by kernal_task which then runs many threads and causes laptop to overheat.

It obviously looks like nothing but CPU was sitting at 100 degrees. I'm sure there's something up

Next here is a picture of insomnia jumping to 67% of CPU right after.

Not logged in at all, minimal settings, only 8 folders of requests with 4 requests per folder, not currently making any requests and it's in the background. CPU usage reached up to 114% at one point

stephanoparaskeva commented 4 years ago

@gschier Hey, this is happening non-stop. Any Updates?

anotheri commented 4 years ago

Same here but when I pulling from git, restart app helps, but I have to do it all the time

adhatama commented 4 years ago

This is happening to me as well. Idle Insomnia getting a high CPU and need restart to fix. I'm not sure maybe it's happening after getting back from Sleep.

Shawyeok commented 3 years ago

Same problem here, high cpu usage up to 120% when idle.

Wow thanks @Shawyeok, that's quite useful. Those files are used for Insomnia's response history, I wonder if they are being cleared correctly. There is a setting in the user preferences to control how much response history is stored, it's possible that Insomnia isn't releasing those files.

Does this ring any bells relating to how you are using Insomnia? Are you restarting the app infrequently, or making many requests, etc?

Response History Limit: 20

I rarely restart the insomnia app as well as os unless I have to do, e.g. app/system upgrade, my system is up for 25 days until now.

making many requests

Depends on what's many, now I have 3000+ files with .response and .timeline suffixes in responses folder.

Very useful information - both not restarting the app often and how many files you have in there. Each .response file represents one response, so even if the history limit is limited to 20, and like you mentioned most of the files are empty, there could still be a lock/hold on the file at an OS level.

Judging by the other comments in this thread, if you were to simply restart the app and not delete the files, you should have seem performance come back to normal, which certainly sounds like a memory leak in the response handling.
