    htop has its uses, but it can't show a moving chart of CPU usage over a period of time, as described in the question. It can only show meters of the current CPU usage. Commented Jun 2, 2017 at 20:48

    @RoryO'Kane At this point in time (2023) htop does have this functionality. Perhaps it didn't when you commented. To set this, press F2, navigate to the meters in the second column, and press space bar twice. Voila! Commented Jun 28, 2023 at 0:55
