Hi,
power usage reading is already implemented for GPUs, CPU power usage reading is on my list but as far as I know there is no streamlined method of reading that.

i'm currently using this TUI project https://github.com/amanusk/s-tui , it monitors the cpu power usage , idk if you can implement it with resources

I've looked into how s-tui does it, it uses the RAPL interface to get CPU power draw. This interface is unfortunately accessible only as root on most systems per default.

that's unfortunate
