Is anyone experiencing/know how to solve a runaway accountsd process after the Catalina 10.15.7 upgrade? My Macbook Pro is running hot (fans on all the time) and activity monitor says the process is running around 350%
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
There seem to have been a lot of complaints about this problem: accountsd process 500% CPU in Catalina 10.15.7.
Some have reported installing the latest "Combo" update solved it: Download macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Combo Update.

Thanks for the prompt response. I started going down the list at this site:
https://mrmacintosh.com/catalina-10-15-7-update-accountsd-using-400-if-using-icloud-mail/
I made down to "sign out/back in with Apple ID," and it seems to have worked. accountsd has returned to single digit values and my fans have gone back to sleep. Thanks again.

It's the iCloud equivalent of "turning it off and on again". Of course that shouldn't be necessary.
