So they're making full use of all the CPUs they paid for.  That in
itself isn't a problem.  Unfortunately you haven't given us nearly
enough information to know whether there is indeed a problem, or if
so, what.  What was throughput before?  What is it now?  How has
latency been affected?  And all those unanswered questions from my
first email....

The problem *might* be something along the lines of most of the
discussion on the thread.  It might not be.  I just don't know yet,
myself.

This has me wondering again about your core count and your user
connections.

Maybe we should identify the problem.  It might be that a connection
pooler is the solution.   On the other hand, if critical production
applications are suffering, it might make sense to take this out of
production and figure out a safer place to test things and sort this
out.
