I am having this trouble regularly. Every day at around 6.30 the network and cpu usage spike and the domains stop being served with 504 errors. I restarted both nginx and apache and it didn't work. The only solution I found was to reboot the server, but the next morning it stops again. Tomorrow I'l ll try the solution above.
It seems to have started after the upgrade to 18.0.27. I'm running plesk obsydian on linux.
I began to suspected ddos attacks, but I checked the main ips and there was nothing suspicious. Could it be some maintainence script causing that?
This is the error I got (8:13 was the time I checked the domains=.

I tried the solution above and it didn't work. The only solution was to reboot the machine.
@bruno vianna,
The issue may be caused by various of reasons.
I'd recommend contacting our Support Team for a thorough investigation.
It's not a solution...not solving the reason of the problem.
