Your OneClickClaw dashboard shows CPU, RAM and disk metrics for your dedicated VPS. If you notice consistently high numbers, here is what causes them and how to bring them down.
What causes high resource usage
- High message volume: Many people messaging your agent at the same time increases CPU load.
- Long conversations: The more conversation history your agent keeps in a session, the more memory it uses.
- Tools that run on the server: Some agent tasks, such as transcribing voice messages, run on your server itself and use more CPU and memory while they run. The AI model itself runs at your AI provider.
- Software you added: Programs you installed or started yourself over SSH use the same server resources as your agent.
Resource level reference
| Metric | Normal | Elevated | Critical |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | 0-50%: No action needed | 50-80%: Monitor closely | 80%+: Optimize or upgrade |
| RAM | 0-60%: No action needed | 60-85%: Monitor closely | 85%+: Optimize or upgrade |
| Disk | 0-70%: No action needed | 70-90%: Clean up files | 90%+: Free space or add disk |
How to reduce usage
Reboot to clear stuck processes
A task that hung can keep using CPU or memory. Click Reboot at the top of your server page to start fresh.
Remove what you no longer need
If you installed extra software over SSH, stop or remove what you no longer use.
Upgrade your plan
If usage stays high, your workload has outgrown your current plan. On your server page, click Need more power? Upgrade your server. The new plan takes effect at once, Stripe charges only the price difference for the rest of your billing period, and your server is resized in place with your data and connections kept.

Disk Usage
When the disk is full
When your server reports its disk 90% full or more, you get a notification in your bell ("Your server's disk is ... full"), at most once a week. To make room:
- Delete files you no longer need, for example large downloads or old logs, over SSH on a paid plan.
- Add disk space from the card of that name on your server page: +25 GB for EUR 3.99, +50 GB for EUR 6.99 or +100 GB for EUR 12.99 a month. Your server restarts once, for about a minute, while the disk grows. On a free trial, extra disk comes with a paid plan.
- Upgrade your plan: each plan has a larger disk (Starter 15 GB, Hobbyist 25 GB, Pro 40 GB).
New servers also have a 2 GB swap file on disk, which gives your agent extra room when memory runs short.
Tip
If you consistently see CPU above 70%, consider upgrading to a higher plan for more resources. The Hobbyist plan doubles your RAM (8 GB vs. 4 GB) and CPU cores (4 vs. 2) compared to Starter.
Note
Upgrading your plan keeps all your data, configuration, and channel connections. Use Need more power? Upgrade your server on your server page.
