Illustrator uses 100% CPU, sustained, even when idle and no documents open
I've observed many times that when Illustrator (29.7.1, on macOS 15.6) is idle in the background, it's running a 100% CPU task. Even if I close all of its open documents, the CPU use is at 100% CPU, and stays there until I quit.

 commentedI'm seeing the same with Illustrator 29.8.2 on macOS 26 Constantly high CPU usage and sluggish performance even in simple documents At this point I think Illustrator for mac is in desperate need of a full rewrite

 commentedI have the same issue on 2 different Macs. Both are on the current versions of Illustrator. This has been going on for about the last year. 
 Illustrator will consume 100% CPU with nothing open. M1 machine gets hot. Seems to be a memory leak.
