Sequoia 15.6.1 keeps restarting. I've attached an Etrecheck report.
I THINK it has somethign to do with the 'MDS_stores' task but I could be way off.
Thanks for your help here.
MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 2021)
First, you should update to 15.7.2.
Done. I ran an Etrecheck pro report again. Here it is.
restarted again today. I'm thinking it's the 'mds' kernel?
Thoughts?
Just a brief look at your EtreCheck report shows numerous problems. Plus, you have so much installed, some of which may conflict with each other, I wouldn't know where to begin. Maybe someone will be willing to sort out all the third-party software you installed.

Yes, but your not going to like it.
You have loaded on so many third party App's and other stuff, that it impossible to see any one thing that is causing your problem.
Sadly the only way out of this that I see, is to completely wipe the M1 MacBook Pro and start over.
Then only reinstall the minimum amount of third-party App's that you really need to use.
Do not reinstall any third-party Protecting, Cleaning, Optimizing App's or VPNs.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I had this issue a while back, posted in Communities and was told basically the same thing. Not wanting to take that step I took it to Apple Genius and they found nothing wrong but there WAS a fix that was recommended and it took care of things for the time being.
Anyway, I'm gonna wipe it I guess.
What's the process for that?
And as far as adding back third party apps and documents....Can I cherry pick things from an icloud backup? For instance, my documents folder?

Yes, if you use the same User name and Apple ID after wiping and reinstalling, then you can cherry pick files from your Time Machine backup and iCloud. > Restore items backed up with Time Machine on Mac - Apple Support
