GetExitCodeThread()

or check the signal status of the thread handle.

WaitForSingleObject( hThread, 0 )

Set a flag in your thread data indicatiing this ?

I don't think in one call, but GetThreadTimes() might be used to
accumulate statistics over several calls.

For debugging, and figuring out how to automate it (if this is your
goal) you might reduce the priority of one thread at a time, and see
how that affects the usage.
SetThreadPriority()
Since you are wanting to reduce priority, you might also want to use
the mis-named  SetThreadPriorityBoost() (it actually turns off the
boost)
