IMDPersistenceAgent is a background process that's involved with Messages, Contacts, FaceTime, and the Handoff feature on Mac for tasks.

First thing I would try is sign out of AppleID and back in again

Thanks for the reply. I did that, but now callservicesd and kernel_task are hammering the CPU. Might just be because cloud is resyncing.

After a restart, the original issue is back. IMDPersistenceAgent just won't let up.
