I have a script I use for cleaning those up via the API. I just posted it to a public repo:
github.com/tailscale-de...

I am intrigued - this is a status light per pin? I can see how that would be super useful. Is it socketed on the back? What's the manufacturer? I might want to find one of those.

I don't code much beyond small bash scripts, though I did pretend to be a JavaScript/php dev for a few years. Mostly have done sysadmin and networking stuff in my career before discovering solutions engineering.
There's a lot of paths.

Generally, CPU consumption scales with the total throughput. So if you've got a lot of transfers happening, there's more encryption/decryption. That should not have changed significantly.
