It has been consistently using this much CPU.

I’m using macbook m1 pro device with following cursor version

Its draining battery like crazy upto the point I can’t use it without plugin it in which is super annoying. I really would love to get the issue resolved.

Also to be clear, this is NOT plugin issue, the same set of plugins used to work until the recent updates rolled in, I have not added any new plugins.

Hey, “extension-host” means that the consumption is coming from an extension. You can check the processes to identify the problematic extension. To do this, open the command palette and enter “Process Explorer.” Also, other users have previously noted that the “Import Cost” extension was causing issues. If you have it installed, try disabling it.
