I encountered a problem with high cpu and network usage.  
No terminal windows are open. Only tab workload → pods.  
After some time, Lens starts consuming network resources. Then the load decreases and increases again. This continues until you close the tab.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello @andrey.te,

We have tried to reproduce this issue. We have opened a lot of tabs, but couldn’t get the issue as you got.

Could you try to update Lens, please?

hello, Tikhon,  
I use latest version of lens. As I said I have the only tab opened - list of pods;  
Actually I have a lot of pods (it varies from 550 to 700) in 5 checked namespaces. I’ve just watched pods list and task manager, and I see network load increases up to 20mbit/s when number of pods (jobs are started) increases, and decreases when jobs are done and items count.  
I’ll try to catch the moment when network reaches 70-90mbit/s

Thanks for reporting the issue @andrey.te! If you have a metrics server running, check the network usage with: `kubectl top pod --all-namespaces --sort-by=NETWORK `. If the results differ, please record a short performance video (devtools) and send it to **support@k8slens.dev** for analysis.

Let us know what you find!
