 * Hello, anyone noticed high mysql usage after last update? I updated to version
   2.2.0 and mysql usage gone crazy, 600% CPU usage on mysql so my server started
   to lag with high usage. Once I managed to deactivate the plugin everything went
   to normal..
    I decided to go back to version 2.1.21 and everything looks normal.
   I use the plugin on a busy site so after the last update the entire server went
   crazy on high cpu usage, please fix this soon as possible..

 * Same here. My host is switching back to the old version until it’s fixed.

 * Hello,
 * I don’t know if I have the exact same problem, but anyway with the new update
   my site was becoming impossible to load. I had to completely uninstall Ultimate
   Member, re-install it and then go back to the old version.
 * Quite frustrating.

 * Hi [@adivirus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adivirus/)
 * Could you please tell us how do you check the CPU usage? Are you using plugins
   to trace the bottlenecks? If so, could you please share the screenshot so we 
   can investigate the issue?

 * [@champsupertramp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/champsupertramp/) I did
   it with **top** command in ssh then once I deactivated the plugin the load began
   to decrease. It reached 1 Min Load Avg to 150 so all the sites on the server 
   were unresponsive or loaded very slow. I will try to check mysql log somehow 
   maybe I can extract something and let you know.

 * I was experiencing this same issue. After deactivating Ultimate member (and related
   plugins), my CPU usage has normalized. It was pegged at 100% usage and my website
   would 504 time-out.

 * Hi!
 * I’m experiencing this same problem on a dedicated server. Had to deactivate the
   plugin too. Will try to downgrade to previous version to see if that can solve
   the problem and wait for the fix.

 * I just upgraded to the latest version 2.2.2, but I’m getting the same problem.
   As I will go on vacation I will stick to the 2.1.21 version for now.. as server
   load increased to 50 and usually it stick on 2.
