bluetoothaudiod spikes to 100% CPU load, MacBook Air gets hot, fan gets super loud

Occasionally, I get what's described on the post title, namely:

Fan turns on and computer gets loud
I open the Activity Monitor to find that
- bluetoothaudiod is hogging the processor, with 100% use
- Computer underside gets hot
- Battery drains

Force-quitting bluetoothaudiod immediately slows down and eventually stops, CPU load goes back to idle loads, and computer cools down.

I'm on a 2020 MacBook Air, 1.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i3, Catalina 10.15.5

This was apparently asked before, with 200+ users confirming this bug, and no answers to that post.

Can anyone comment on this?

I think my mac book is the higher processor and will be better, but it seems like I totally wrong.

1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

This is a very bad experience, because it really drives the battery dry fastly.

Backup your data to an external drive and perform a clean install of macOS.

Go for Big Sur, it'll run flawlessly on your MBP 13"

Restart your Mac holding Option and choose the installer

Close DU and proceed with installation as new Mac

After that, install your apps and copy back your personal data.

If it doesn't work, take it to an Apple Store or Authorized for proper diagnostic.
