- Most hosting providers will put more Virtual Machines (VPSes) on a server than the hardware can handle when each VM is running at full CPU load. This is called over-provisioning, which can lead to other VMs on the server "stealing" CPU time from your VM and vice-versa.

- To alleviate this potential problem with shared CPU resources, hosts assign "credits" to a VPS which are used up according to an algorithm based on the CPU load as well as the time over which the CPU load is generated. If your VM's assigned credit is used up, they will take CPU time from your VM and assign it to other VMs on the machine. This is seen as the "Steal" or "St" value.

- Audio transcoding applications like Liquidsoap use a consistent amount of CPU over time, which gradually drains this available credit. If you regularly see stolen CPU time, you should consider migrating to a VM that has CPU resources dedicated to your instance.
