onedrive finder integration using half of battery

My M1 battery lasts about 4 hours doing email or basic web surfing. The culprit is onedrive finder integration according to energy tab of activity monitor.

Any suggestions how to fix without uninstalling it? I have 1TB of files in onedrive, so I am absolutely not going to reset it or re-link it, which takes weeks to re-sync.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

low-priority question: Microsoft OneDrive (for SharePoint) Finder extension unreliable (macOS 10.15.7) I use OneDrive to connect to a SharePoint server through the Finder. The Finder extension provides status icons next to each file and folder in Finder, plus right-click menu items specific to OneDrive. These features aren't always on, for some reason. I don't lose my connection to the SharePoint server, but the status icons and menu choices sometimes disappear. The Extensions System Preferences pane shows that the extension is "on" (i.e., there's a check in the checkbox) even if it appears to be off. The fix is easy: turn off all Finder extensions, then turn on the OneDrive extension. Once the icons reappear, I turn on the other extensions. That said, does anybody know why this happens, and how to prevent it?

Put Hard Disks Sleep When Possible in Ventura M1 Mac mini - option has disappeared This option in energy saver was available on my Mac mini M1 Ventura 13.5. However I notice that if one turns it off the option disappears - you can't turn it on again. Surely this is not by design? It is posing a real problem for me - In Adobe Lightroom when I right click Lightroom will wait for any external disks to spin up before responding. This takes several seconds and is slowing me down a lot! My external disks are for backup only and not used by Lightroom. In order to work efficiently I have to unmount the backup disks and then of course forget to remount them for backups. Others have also experienced the problem -> https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/put-hard-disks-to-sleep-energy-saver-settings-disappearing.2397175/ Is there any way to force this option to reappear?
