I'm experiencing this as well, and while I could be wrong, I *THINK* I remember having this issue on M as well. (On the PureNexus ROM)

Cool Tool and OS Monitor worked fine for me with stock (bootloader locked, no root) Android 6.0.1 June 2016 security patch here on my Nexus 6P. Honestly cannot remember as far as the Developer Options "Show CPU usage" described here since I had no need for it. In any case, nothing works in N Dev Preview 4 (NPD56N).

Since it's been months since the last mention of this and N is out in the public now, is there a status update on the situation?

Same issue here on Nexus 6P using Android 7.0 build NRD90T.

I had the opportunity to test this on an unmodified Nexus 6 running Android M with the September security update (MOB31E) and it has the same problem.

The problem persists in the latest 7.1.1 beta (NPF10C).
This issue makes it very difficult to troubleshoot runaway CPU usage (which, of course, leads to excessive heat and battery drain) on devices without root, unless one tethers oneself to a computer with ADB, which is not realistic usage. For that reason, I would consider this a high-priority issue.

Description
The full list is here (
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a: Android process management is totally fucked up: you never know what is really running, how much RAM it is really consuming and you cannot really stop/kill offending processes/tasks/applications. There's no need to remind me about Android's built-in tasks/processes manager: it omits certain apps, it doesn't allow to terminate certain apps, oftentimes it shows completely wrong stats (like memory usage).
1b: A related problem: it's impossible to understand how much RAM the core of Android uses.
1c: Yet another related problem: certain parts of Android _DO_ leak memory no matter how Android developers would call it. It would be nice to have an option to restart "protected" processes to free memory.
1d: There must be no distinction between processes and services because it's completely opaque and moot anyways.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2a: Android (even versions 7.0/6.0) doesn't allow to create and restore full backups of your device: including
* sent and received SMS/MMS messages;
* phone calls and their duration;
* settings for *all* installed applications (including the system ones and the ones marked as excluded from backup, like Telegram)
2b: There must be a way to create a backup as a single portable archive (e.g. tar.gz)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Android does _not_ allow to the set the mtime for files. I fail to see any rationale behind this limitation. Certainly it's not about security because you have ctime and atime which cannot be faked under the current security policy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. There's no way to set/manage CPU/GPU performance profiles (read frequency and CPU domain) based on application. Certain buggy applications consume 100% of CPU while doing nothing thus killing your battery.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. There's no way to adjust output resolution and DPI which could save a lot of GPU power.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. The user doesn't have direct access to the userdata partition which means deleted photos and files could never be recovered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Market/Installation Framework:
7a: There's no way to roll back application updates. People often need this feature because applications' updates might introduce bugs/remove features.
7b: There's no to stop applications from receiving notifications, i.e. you can never stop them for good. There must be a way to STOP the application completely so that it never ran no matter what.
