Among virtual hosting providers, there is usually an amount of storage and bandwidth specified in the service description (example: 50 GB storage, 1 TB bandwidth/month) but no such thing for CPU usage. However, usually a clause in the agreement says something about using resources excessively.
How is this measured?
What is the measurement units?
What is being measured?
Is this a CPU usage percentage?
Does the peak count or the average (over a period)?
Excessive relative to what?

You need to either specify a single host here, or ask whoever you're thinking about directly.
This isn't done the same way by all hosts, but as far as a couple of the later points, some disclose details within their technical information for how this is calculated. Others actually provide a view of the data within their control panels. If they don't, there's usually a bit of flexibility, to account for occasional spikes and such, but if you keep bumping up against the limits you'll be told to upgrade or move.
