As far as I know, pcpu has never worked for limiting beyond a single core. I
submitted a patch for kern/kern_racct.c that should fix it:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189870
Please update the bug if it does or doesn't resolve the issue. Maybe that
will prompt a committer to apply it to stable.

> Hello and have a nice day!

> I try to limit cpu usage for multi-threaded process on a multi-core
machine.
> I use the following command:
> # rctl -a user:myusernm:pcpu:deny=200/user
> And I expect (please correct me if I am wrong) that all processes running
with uid=myusernm will consume 200% of CPU in total.
> But after that I see that multi-threaded process continues to consume all
available cores on my machine.
> rctl command reports:# rctluser:myusernm:pcpu:deny=200
> What am I doing wrong?
