The "searchpartyd" process is consuming a massive amount of processing power—around 90%, according to Activity Monitor—and the looping error it exhibits is being logged to iCloud. I have tried terminating the process via Terminal and Activity Monitor. The only way to stop this anomaly was to turn off iCloud synchronization, though this disconnects my Documents and other folders. When I re-enable synchronization, the anomaly returns. I then have to turn off Bluetooth and kill the process so I can work with iCloud synchronization active.
If I turn Bluetooth on, "searchpartyd" goes back to using almost all the processing power, making it nearly impossible to type, watch videos, etc.
Have you given adequate time for the Spotlight re-index to finish after your upgrade to macOS 27.0— this includes local files as well as indexing all the iCloud files...
The searchpartyd (Search Party Daemon) process in macOS 27 Golden Gate is a legitimate system service responsible for Apple's Find My offline device discovery and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon tracking
The resolve typically is signing out and back in to sort sync issue— this would include turning off FindMy—and re-enable after you sigh back in.
