I think you are missing the point. They don’t care if you use 100% of CPU. What they don’t want you to do is use 100% CPU and not pay the bill.

Not that I am defending their actions and perma-ban.

They clearly do, at least for some subset of customers meeting various quasi-secret criteria.

The account here was fully paid up, albeit via credits that they issued rather than via USD. Regardless, it was not past due, so, the high CPU% was the mortal sin.
