Books crashing and overheating my Macbook Air M1

Books keep on crashing and using 100% CPU. While Books is open my Macbook Air M1 runs very hot and cools down as soon as I close the app. Books is my most used app, any suggestions?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4

macbook pro 2020 m1 overheating sequoia My MacBook Pro 2020 (m1) has been overheating randomly since installing Sequoia. I tried closing apps, but that didn’t help so I shut it down. I turned it back on and kept a minimal number of apps open but it randomly started overheating again. Is this happening to anyone else?

Apple Books' Intensive CPU Usage A process from Apple Books, com.apple.WebKit.WebContent is using the CPU around 99%. To the point of my mac eventually becomes warm. This doesn't make sense if reading a single book consume 99% of the cpu how would I even work? I am reading a downloaded epub Book with Apple Books on macOS 13.4 and the cpu usage is insanely high. It would be great if someone can help me with this. Thanks.

MacBook Air M1 keeps crashing So recently, my MacBook keeps on crashing during the night. I let it run some compressions via Handbrake while being connected to the power supply and my TV and in the morning, whenever I take a look at it, I get the info it crashed during the night and rebooted. The crash log is attached. Does anybody know what causes this problem? It seems so weird that this happens basically every night. Thank you in advance!

Hey, I think I've figured. I was using M2 Air and CPU was on 100% when reading a book. I freed up some space from iCloud and it solved the issue right away.
