Mac Studio sluggish and beach balling intermittently in DAWs.

Whenever I have a logic or reaper session open long enough, I get consistently stuttering beachballs and audio dropout every other minute. It goes away temporarily when restarting in safe mode, but comes back after a few hours. It also persists across different user accounts on the computer, as per a troubleshooting I followed from this thread. (M1 Ultra Mac Studio Severely Sluggish - Apple Community)


Would really appreciate any help with this, as I just bought this M1 and need all the power I can get out of it.


Attached is the EtreCheckPro Diagnostic results.
