  "CPU credits (hostinger.com/support/how-cpu-credits-work-on-hostinger-vps, 2026-10-14): a VPS can use 100% of its vCPUs while credits last; \"The baseline is 60% on every plan.\" (usage below 60% earns credits, above spends them) and \"A full balance supports approximately three hours of continuous 100% CPU usage across all allocated vCPUs.\" \"When credits run out, available CPU capacity is reduced to your plan's limit : 40% on KVM 1 and 30% on KVM 2, KVM 4 and KVM 8.\" Full capacity returns automatically once the balance rebuilds to 20% of its maximum (~24 min idle on KVM 1). CPU-bound 24/7 fleets sustain about 60% of the vCPUs they pay for. Hostinger's own pages disagree on the empty-balance floor: the limits page says \"temporarily drops to 20% of the allocated capacity\" and the CPU-use-limit FAQ says \"between 5% and 20% of capacity depending on your plan\" (and that the limit can be removed manually \"once every week\"). A separate abuse-protection CPU use limit still \"throttles sustained high usage regardless of your credit balance\".",
