My mac is running hot

When idling or even lid closed, mac is running hot indicating it's not sleeping and there are some processes running


activity monitor shows three processes always on top for CPU Time


  • mds_stores
  • mediaanalysisd
  • something simmiar media scan but can't find it right now because i just rebooted



How can I determine if mac is really sleeping when lid is closed? I tried pinging it but it doesn't respond for some reason even when running due to this problem i cant ping my mac - Apple Community


Thanks


i'm on macOS Sequoia 15.1 with a Intel based macbook pro
