The service Proxmox VE CPU utilization shows two lines: "Total CPU (average)" and "Total CPU Core usage".

Before this fix, "Total CPU Core usage" always used the current CPU value. It ignored the "Average CPU Value over" setting. Only "Total CPU (average)" used the average.

Because of this, a short CPU spike could trigger WARN or CRIT on "Total CPU Core usage" right away. This happened even with a 30 minute average configured. The average setting had no effect on this line.

Now, "Total CPU Core usage" uses the same average value as "Total CPU (average)". When you set an average window, the label shows it, for example: "Total CPU Core usage (30 min average)".
