How to reduce CPU usage while mining

Is there anyway to restrict mining to few cores instead of taking up the entire CPU? Its always at 100%. Any help would be appreciated

Command line options for either mining software:

Xmrig: --threads 2
Dero Miner- --mining-threads=2

Both mining software has configurable threads to utilize when mining. If you are using config file for xmrig, there is cpu threads like [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] potentially, which you can modify to be [0, 2] . And dero-miner is just the above param --mining-threads=x

Hello, thank you very much for your help. I had the same problem with the DERO coin on the HIVEOS platform when limiting CPU usage. I share my experience to help others.

After trying many options the correct code is this. “astrobwt”: [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
.
Greetings to all and I hope it serves you as well as me.
