Actually you might check for CPU Usage. Here is a snippet from the IDS SDK but the same method can be found with InDesign Client : 

 

// Get the process cpu usage and vm statistics
	this.cpuTime = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.CPU_TIME);
	this.sysCpuTime = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.OVERALL_SYSTEM_CPU);
	this.userCpuTime = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.OVERALL_USER_CPU);
	this.initVMSize = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.VIRTUAL_

I don’t think so. You can look at the ExtendScript $ object API here:

	this.initVMSize = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.VIRTUAL_MEMORY_SIZE);
	this.resMemSize = app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.RESIDENT_MEMORY_SIZE);

 

But Pausing a script might not be possible. You can exit your script though if you see the CPU go wild.

I missed the application PerformanceMetricOptions. The full list is here:

 

https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#PerformanceMetricOptions.html

 

$.writeln(app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.CPU_TIME))
$.writeln(app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.OVERALL_SYSTEM_CPU))
$.writeln(app.performanceMetric(PerformanceMetricOptions.OVERALL_USER_CPU))
