I just migration assisted from mac mini M1 13.2a to new mac studio max 13.2a .
I opened apple contacts, turned off google CardAV and its a partial fix. contactsd still runs eating 60% of a CPU core. suggestd is also running, sirixxxx also running. manually killing the process in the terminal, it starts right back up after a few secs. so the problem is, what is calling or using contactsd in the first place ?
Next try : turn off icloud CardDAV in contacts app, but left Google on. I then manually killed suggestd, and so far contactsd hasn't restarted. CPU usage is normal. << probably the fix :(
iCloud sync and comms has really been hugely problematic in 13. Freeform leaks memory like crazy if I have it enabled for iCloud, filed BR's and crash logs.
