      I'm running 2.1.5-RELEASE.

      The CPU is very high by the rate process. Is it safe to kill the rate process? (I use limiters. Does limiter use rate command?)

      I know that reboot will solve the problem (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1333) but I don't have a maintenance window for the next several hours.

      Tks in advance.

        1. Update. 2.1 is ancient and that rate bug was fixed a long time ago.
        2. Limiters do not use Rate.
        3. It is safe to kill rate, it is only used to provide per-host bandwidth stats on Status > Traffic Graphs
