Other than what Fate mentioned, "throttle transcoding", there is no mechanism available in ffmpeg to only go "50%". ffmpeg will always go as fast as possible. Throttle transcoding will pause ffmpeg, but will still run as fast as possible in between pauses.
Since the compute usage is also high, I am assuming this was an HDR video that was tone mapped. Which would use more power than an SDR transcode.
