It depends on the instance. If you use up the burst capacity, you will notice. The very bottom end only allows about 5% usage before the throttling kicks in. There's a chart here:

Hmm, interesting. I unfortunately don't have the metrics anymore since this project is long dead.

But I do remember on another host (I tried a different one between linode and light sail) that I actually got an email that I was using too much CPU and was shut down.

So I do remember using a lot of CPU, but I don't know where that percent was.
