Bare metal servers? No problems here with VPS/cloud. Best to contact support I guess.

perhaps your server is hacked someone might be running a crypto job on it stealthily. I suggest shutting down all unnecessary ports and reinstall the OS as a last resort.

No problems here, both virtual and bare metal servers are running just fine. Like someone else said you were probably hacked.
