spiking up to 100 regularly which never happened until yesterday

You would want to ask your hosting provider what changed. It may be they updated something or you’re getting too much traffic than your server can handle. If nothing was changed in the software, it shouldn’t be changing like this really as it’s the same exact queries running these.

From what I can tell so far it’s stopped the whole site being unresponsive and cpu being stuck at 100% for long periods of time

I spoke too soon, everything’s collapsed again

FWIW I experienced CPU spikes on my community and it turned out that I had a lot of bot traffic (looking at you, Bing) causing long-running SQL queries that would max out the allowable connections, and everything would grind to a halt.

I blocked a bunch of known bots (and AI scrapers) and the issue was resolved.

That's reminded me I had this kind of thing happening 2/3 years ago and worked out it was a specific bot which I blocked onto my robots txt but about a month ago I reverted it back to the default Invision. I've put those bots back on my custom robots.txt now, really hoping that stops this

I thought it was fixed but it’s started to happen again 😔😔

You'd want to check with your hosting provider of the IP addresses coming in and what they are. If it's malicious or not obeying your robots.txt, you'll want to block it at the network/server level.

Seems to be alot coming from Tencent but don't know how to block it in robots.

I've turned on this in Cloudflare to see if it helps 

Could contain: Page, Text, File

I've tried blocking it on cloudflare but its made no difference, just don't know what to do I'm just guessing

If you don't know how to block them effectively, you would need to contact your hosting provider or CloudFlare to block them.

I mean I have blocked that IP but I’m just guessing that’s the cause

You said that you have blocked them, but the question is if it's still them accessing the site.  Look at your server logs to confirm.  It may not be the traffic you're blocking that is problematic for you.

If you're seeing IPs that are supposed to be blocked, then obviously there would be a configuration problem.
