Numerous instances of rg spawned, each using 100%+ CPU, until machine slows down to the point of being unusable

Unfortunately I wish I had taken a screenshot, but I didn’t.

It’s happened to me twice in the last 24 hours, ever since upgrading to .46.

I’m currently on .46.5, and I’m running a 16" M1 Max 32 gig on MacOS 15.3.1.

I first noticed it last night. I was using cursor for a few hours, and suddenly my local web app was taking incredibly long to load page transitions. Very strange. I thought it was something to do with the app itself. A few minutes later, basic actions across the rest of my computer started to lag.

That’s when I checked Activity Monitor and noticed that I had maybe a dozen instances of rg running, each consuming 100%+ cpu.

I went through and force quit them all one by one and everything went back to normal.

It happened again a while later, this morning I believe.

Wish I could provide more information, but that’s all I’ve got for now!
