```csharp
public int CpuThreshold
```

Gets or sets the CPU utilization, expressed as a value between `0` and `100`, at which load shedding begins. Note that this value is in %, so valid values range from 1 to 100, and a reasonable value is typically between 80 and 95. This value is ignored if load shedding is disabled, which is the default.

### Value

Load shedding begins at a CPU utilization of 95% by default, if load shedding is enabled.
