My Touch 70 recently displayed this message: “System load high, closing the side panel to reduce CPU load”. My system has been on shore power continuously, batteries have been charged to 100% for quite some time and not much loading with the mile weather. I cleared the message and it hasn’t come back. Everything seems to be operating normally. What is this message telling me?
Hi Bon Shaw, welcome to the Victron forum!
I’ve got a GX Touch 70 too, but never experienced any message like you had. The only thing I can think of, is that the Cerbo GX maybe was busy with a lot of calculations, due to an update, or certain activities. I’m not sure if it’s possible to check log files, if so you might be able to find something out.

I also had this message when I had the side panel on display for a long time, I suspect having the side panel on uses more CPU power, and at some point that just accumulates, much like when a computer slows down if too many programs are running
Hi Bon,
Have you updated the firmware to 3.51? This seemed to be a fix. I have a customer who was receiving the same message every morning. After updating to 3.51 the message cleared for a week or 2. The message has returned.
@victronenergy Are you able to address this message?
I’m also getting this and running v3.51
I’m running v3.51.
Looks like there was a new firmware update Nov 21st, V 3.52. Can you check to see if you are still getting this message after updating?
I am running V 3.52 as I checked it today. Yesterday, we had lost AC power and when I checked the Touch 70 there was an alert about closing the side pane. I didn’t capture the exact message because i was more concerned to correct the missing AC power, but it was a message about too much cpu power dissipation. Prior to the lost AC event and since last night the side panel message hasn’t returned as of yet.
