Server pregen pausing with no players online
I'm using /dh pregen on DH 2.3.0-b on a server to pre-generate chunks and LODs.
The initial phase of pregeneration where it kept logging progress updates was done quite quickly and progressed even when no player was online.
Now however, the server cpu usage drops to 0% when no player is online, but rises very high (700%+, definitely DH) when a player is online.
The LODs which are visible to the client also clearly do not reach as far into the distance as they should.
After AFKing overnight while staying logged in on the server, the LODs visually reach much further. The CPU usage is still ~700% so it's clearly still not done, but it still drops to 0% when no player is online, suggesting that server LOD generation is paused with no player online.
I'd like to pre-generate the LODs, not just the world. Pre-generating only the world is useless to me as the LODs take much longer than the world itself.
How can I keep generating the LODs without requiring a player to be online on the server?

What is the command you used to run the pregen?
should be
dh pregen start minecraft:overworld -1792 352 48
i later retried with a range of 100 because the progress log said it was done but it had no visual effect
which then also finished according to logging, and then as described initially cpu usage stayed high and lods continued to slowly appear over hours
100 chunks is not really much, default client RD is 128, and may people play with 256 or even higher
ok but thats not my point
this is what it looked like yesterday after the pregen had already finished according to the log
(there are some DH LOD chunks in a square around the coords, but not many)
now 8 hours of AFKing, dh pregen being allegedly finished, and the server cpu being at 700%, it looks like this
dh debug says this while im AFK on the server (cpu usage 700%)
and this while noone is online (cpu usage 0-2%)
i did some initial pregen with chunky before DH was installed, but it was already uninstalled by the time of the 100 chunk dh pregen
i just want the work its doing while im afk to also continue while the server is empty :/
