Honestly I have no idea how provides would enforce that rule anyway for that very reason. My guess is that it's a technicality, since Tor _can_ but isn't specifically _designed_ to max CPU usage.

I have two guard/middle nodes with maxed out cores. CPU is actually
their bottleneck. They have high consensus weight and get a lot of use
though.
My point was just that if a VPS provider has a policy against software
that maxes out CPU, Tor could cause that condition. Whether or not a
provider would actually enforce this against a Tor node is another
question. I haven't heard of it happening but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
