iMessage Pinwheeling Constantly

I'll reboot; imessages will run fine, then after a little bit of time it'll pinwheel. In console all I see is this:

{"bug_type":"313","timestamp":"2023-08-08 19:34:12.00 -0500","os_version":"macOS 13.5 (22G74)","roots_installed":0,"incident_id":"0B37BF09-B16D-4B5B-8334-C379573510BF"}

{"user_guid":"416EE10F-48C7-4E20-9F3D-A48766E2EE32","session_start":1691541253,"agent":"parsecd\/1 (iMac19,2; macOS 13.5 22G74) spotlight\/1","country_code":"US"}

I just don't know how to read it lol.

Suggestions?

Hello clint2166,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to get the Message app to open on your Mac. First, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct simple issues like you're experiencing.
