"usernoted" is using up almost 100% of my CPU. My laptop gets really hot without doing anything that should be strenuous, and my battery is draining really fast even though it's at 99% capacity. I found a post about this from 2023, and they said to reinstall MacOS. I did that, and it did not fix the problem. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
