When monitored with <code>docker stats</code>, the container regularly consumes 150–200% CPU, utilizing multiple CPU cores and impacting other services on the host.</p> <h2 id="task">Task</h2> <p>Recreate the container with a CPU limit of 500m CPU so that <code>docker stats</code> reports CPU usage consistently below 60% during validation.</p>
