Sidecar Display Flickering

Hi all! When I use my iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd Gen) with my 2019 MbP 13" as a sidecar display, the screen flickers intermittently. It's not constant, it happens about once a minute. I have loved using my iPad as a secondary display so far, and this flicker is really distracting to me. I have restarted both devices and it still happens. Interestingly, it happens less frequently when on wireless mode, and more when connected via USB. I am running iPad os 14, and 10.15.6 on my Mac.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any help would be much appreciated!

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

I contacted Apple support with this issue today. They had me reset the NVRAM on my MBP and it solved the issue. Here are the instructions:
