M1 MacBook Pro screen circle pixilation flashing issue

I just noticed that my MacBook is doing this strange thing shown below on the screen. There's a small "circle" that keeps flashing and it's driving me crazy. That's the best way I can explain it.



It just happened recently and I can't find anyone else with a similar issue

Howdy MacbookProM1Apple,


It’s great to have you in the Apple Support Community! We gather that you've been having issues with the display of your Mac. It's going to be our pleasure to help out.


An excellent place to start is to check for any macOS updates: Update macOS on Mac.

 

We also recommend booting into safe mode, logging in, and testing to see if the issue persists. You can find the steps for safe mode located here:  How to use safe mode on your Mac 

 

If you’re still noticing issues after safe mode, check to see if this is something that's isolated to just your user on your Mac, or if it's system-wide. Please use the steps from the section “Add a user” to create a new user on your Mac: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Although the issues mentioned here don't exactly match your description, giving the steps here a try could be helpful: If your Mac display doesn’t look right


In addition to that, you might want to try a NVRAM reset. It's a useful troubleshooting step for display related issues: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac


If the issue persists, please reach out here for additional support: Get Support


Have a fantastic rest of your day!
