Constant CPU usage on Compute Engine Instance

Recently I have deployed a Compute Engine instance developed from LAMP template. A few days after deployment I started to see constant CPU usage (~8%). I have not performed any API activity (haven't created any applications) and I see ZERO CPU usage inside the VM (top/mpstat and etc.). enter image description here

Any ideas what is happening?

as mentioned here: Idle CPU utilization on Google Compute Engine

"The CPU usage in Google Developer Console is not that of the instance, but the CPU usage of the container managing it. This container is in charge of providing the virtualization services to the instance and collecting all the metrics. So, the Google Developer Console CPU utilization shows the aggregate CPU usage for both the container and the instance."
