Jetson Orin Dev Kit - System Throttled Due to Overcurrent

Hello,

I am running a stack on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin 32GB Dev Kit that involves a point cloud processing service on the GPU, a set of additional gRPC services that are CPU intensive and Open3D visualization.

When running stack at MAX N power on the device, with the provided barrel jack power source and all services running, we frequently get the warning “System Throttled Due to Overcurrent.”

I looked through the documentation here, but am struggling to find solid pointers on how to debug / address this problem.

Are there utilities to identify which program is drawing the most power?

Is this due to a deficiency in the dev kit’s provided power supply? If so, is there guidance on upgrading the power supply?

Could you move to jp5.1.1 and see if you can still hit this issue?

If you can, please share us the method to reproduce this issue.

I think you may need to share what you are running.

The Instantaneous Power Limit of Orin AGX 32 GB is 45W. Not sure what kind of usecase can run up to this power consumption.
