PMS CPU Usage

Has anyone else had an issue with high CPU usage with the Plex Media Server?? I am using PMS version 1.23.2.4656 and my CPU usage is always very high. I checked it with the resource monitor tab (see attached image) in the NAS desktop and it consistently reads at about 90-100%.

I know that the version of PMS is not the latest but, honestly, I am a bit reluctant to update it since the last time I updated it took me several days to get the PMS back to where it had been. BTW, Plex is the ONLY app running on the NAS.
Thanks for any insights . .

Are you scanning your large number of files or playing high-definition video when you check the progress?

No - no scanning and no playing any video whatsoever. This happens while the system, both the NAS and Plex, are totally idle.

As i said, Plex is a third-party app, we have no idea what it is doing there. So I will recommend you try to find support from plex tech team.
