There's CPU throttled and then there's the 'completely undocumented useless wall of pain' I find with T2 instances which is a bit after that. A throttled box is usually just about responsive but there is a point of no return. This might be a side effect of the throttling however.

> It took only 2 hours after setup and an average 25% cpu usage for the cpu steal to start climbing, just a few percentage points at first, but more than 80% after one more hour. Sounds like CPU throttling is not an on/off thing but kicks in gradually.

Sounds like they throttle you, then only give you excess resources after a certain point. Kinda kills the point of a server if it grinds to a near halt, the initial throttling is workable.
