iCloud high CPU usage during display sleep (graph to show that)

So, I'm using iCloud app on Windows 11 just to sync my calendar with Outlook classic (it just won't sync on the new Outlook) and everything went good until I started noticing my fans kicking every time my displays went off (before the system enters sleep mode).


I used Windows Performance Recorder to see what was happening and check it out, you'll clearly see in the graph how my iCloud process is kicking exactly at 20 mins (display goes off) and how it stayed very high until I resumed my display. With the mouse over the line I was able to identify the pcrosses and it was iCloudHome.exe.


I know there's a lot of reports about this, and no real solutions so far, but I just wanted to contribute with some clear graphics to show the problem.
