I am not sure when glances is reporting on there, but if it is CPU then idle is when a CPU core isn’t doing anything.

So if your system is over 90% idle that means it isn’t doing anything CPU intensive or you have so many cores that even when it is doing something CPU intensive, most of your cores are still not doing much.
