Number of cores used in free Hugging Face Space

I’m trying to run a Python Flask application with a Docker configuration in a Hugging Face space. I have the free settings for CPU basic, however I’m getting licensing errors from the hosting service I use called Intersystems Iris community edition that there are 24 cores running when the limit is 20. Maybe I’m missing something but I have two questions.

  1. Is it possible that there actually are 24 cores running in my free HF space?
  2. Is there a way I can limit it to 20?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
