Maybe try the performance
CPU type for now, to get out of severe degradation territory; those will definitely work.
Then later inch down gradually with the shared
class (the cheaper ones subject to these quotas). If things were doing ok until just recently then there likely is some vCPU count that will do the trick…
Aside: @Hypermind’s proposed mid-range flex
class would be a better fit (I’m guessing)—but it unfortunately doesn’t yet exist…
