   The team traced the high GPU usage on macOS 26 (Tahoe) to a platform-level compositing issue and have flagged it with Apple. A temporary workaround was shipped Beta in 30.8.0.72. Please update and let the team know how it performs on your end.

   I have this issue too. Not only with Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign too.

   After I open app, not even loading the document, my gpu usage soars up to 70 %. A great note from the commenter - making it full screen fixes this issue. Which isn't the solution , but a viable workaround while working off the battery. Because this behaviour basically cuts my battery life in half. I run latest adobe apps + latest Tahoe release 26.4 on 16 inch MBP M1 Pro 16gb
