## TL;DR

Its fixed in 1.5.0-beta1, and the reporter confirmed the load went away on the beta. The idle CPU burn and the log flood were a node agent tick bug in 1.4.x.

## Steps

1. The idle CPU burn and the log flood were a node agent tick bug in 1.4.x. Its fixed in 1.5.0-beta1, and the reporter confirmed the load went away on the beta. If youre stuck on 1.4.x, mitigate it by starting the server with --tick-interval 10s. The Delr page was evicted lines were just noisy error logging from a closed channel, not actual data loss.

## When to use

You are seeing this: The idle CPU burn and the log flood were a node agent tick bug in 1.4.x. Use this skill when you run into "SurrealDB 1.4.0 high idle CPU and "Delr page was evicted" log flood".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

## Why this happens
