Proxmox maxis:

Why do VMs randomly just get stuck at 100% CPU and need a force stop?

Have you checked which program / package is consuming RAM?

You should enable a log to monitor RAM consumption

I would also install zram to handle slight RAM overcommit on virtual nachine better.

Verify that you are leaving free ram for the proxmox hypervisor.

Also install the driver package in the virtual machine (virtio).

What system do you use?

Big-little architecture? If yes, make sure you are up to date with the latest microcode on the host.

Might also want to watch disk utilization. You might be having iowait throttle the rest of the system

Is your VM's CPU tyoe set to "host"?

This issue could be because of low disk space on the vm. Also had this problem due to a bug in kernel with respect to specific cpu model(was resolved by proxmox upgrade).
