First you can adjust bot's CPU consuming rate here:

But let's do some math, here is the area power rate in Silicon Valley:

$50 / $ 0.119 per kwh = 420 kwh

420 kwh / 14 days = 30 kwh per day (set to 14 days is much greater than 'a few days'.)

30 kwh per day / 24 hours = 1.25 kw per hour

Usually a desktop max power supply is 0.4 kw, and the running power usually is lower than 0.2 kw.

I'm curious what kind of computer you're using.

My computer is fairly new and can get computations off just before rope-time, so I feel that I don't really need to speed things up (especially since misplays are very costly in ranked).

The main issue is that my computer starts to ramp up and make a lot of noise when deciding what to do with a full board, but I think your math checked out and confirmed that something else may have been impacting my power bill.

Thanks JoyAdmin, if things continue to be bad next month I will let you know.
