My Mikrotik L009UiGS-2HaxD-in shows 100% CPU usage and yet it has few hotspot users, when I check under /tools profile, it shows "Management and Console" are taking up 40% and 20% of the CPU respectively, how can I fix this without factory reset?
Having a look "under the hood" would be helpfull:

What kind of datarate does it show for the internet interface?
when i paste code, it says 400 Bad request
Right now its 3.4M/58M, but CPU usage rises steadily for sometime to almost 100%. then it drops to normal 18%, 22%. i have an average 65 hotspot users.

You are running without firewall? Is that directly on internet or behind an ISP NAT router?
If directly, then yes, it is not surprising.
I am behind an ISP NAT router
