Dyno load represents how much CPU your application is consuming. It is measured in m (milliVCPU), where 1000m = 1 full vCPU. For example, a load of 250m means the app is using 25% of a CPU core. Tracking dyno load helps ensure workloads are evenly distributed and responsive, while also highlighting when scaling is needed.
We report three values:
Max: The highest CPU usage observed.
Average: The sustained CPU usage over the period.
Quota: The CPU capacity assigned to the dyno.
