High CPU on Cisco router 3925

Our router is suffering the anomaly traffic, and its CPU raised to 40-50% from last night (normally is is < 10%) Can you check out this? Is there any way to mitigate the impact ?

This is the result of show process:

R1-ILL#sh process
CPU utilization for five seconds: 49%/46%; one minute: 30%; five minutes: 18%

This is the CPU chart from last night until now:

Please help! Are we under attack?

Generally, until CPU is started to be utilized over 80% there is no need to be worried, but it still should be checked.
Is anything reconfigured or something other (e.g more VPN users) happen on device at the time when CPU utilization started to be increased?

Please issue commands and paste output:
show processes cpu sorted | e 0.00%.*0.00%.*0.00%
show ip interface | e [0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]

Hi, No the number of VPN server is the same.

Strangely, I saw the IP addresses when issued command "show ip flow top-talker" and "show ip cache flow" but when issued "show ip nat translation | grep IP_address", it did not show anything. I intent to get the ports which those traffic connect to and block them by ACL.

Last night, I configured rate-limit in outbound interface, the CPU reduces to 20-25% but I know it is just mitigate and did not solve problem, we still got strange IPs connect to. Is it okay to issue this command on it:

rate-limit input 25600000 6400000 12800000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

Out maximum rate is 64  Mb/s


Please find the result below (I removed rate-limit command before issue these):

It could be some bug related to  Licensing Auto Update Process - like CSCuj27424 I can't really find something useful regarding "Per-Second Jobs".
Which IOS version is currently running?
sh ver | i IOS

Try to issue
show interface | e [0-9][0-9]\.[0-9][0-9]
and check device logs

Since NVI is in use according to above output instead of show ip nat translation | grep IP_address I guess grep if grep command is supported on 3925 try to use
show ip nat nvi translation

But, since rate limiting helps it could be attack, increased traffic rate or still could be some bug.

Hi, I mean include, not grep (Linux-in my mind :-)

nothing show up with this

ACL especially long ones can have that effect, but, I guess in that case there was configuration change and after that CPU can increase (I asked were some changes applied) . If ACL was previously configured and router's CPU utilization was low, I would still guess that ACL itself may not be the only reason higher CPU utilization.
