I noticed that when I use Pages, these processes are constantly having high CPU usages, even if I leave the document idle. I used it for 30 minutes and it still persists. I don't know if it is a bug with Pages, or is a configuration or cache issue.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.5
Whether I launch Pages v14.4 on Sequoia v15.5 with a local 200 page document, or a one page document with text and equations from iCloud Drive, its CPU utilization with Pages at idle is less than 1%. This would naturally increase if I was actually working on a document performing a spell check, playijng an embedded video, or removing an image background. I don't see what you observe in Activity Monitor, and what you show is not what I consider high CPU utilization for a user application on a UNIX operating system.
Personally, I don't waste a minute looking at Activity Monitor. In most cases, including yours, there is nothing you can do other than close that Pages document(s), quit Pages, and potentially reboot. Pages is unlikely to be bug free, yet there is nothing in your post that suggests that this is a bug.
Hi, I’ve just updated by 2019 MacBook Pro to 18.5 and noticed “high” CPU % for Pages and tccd even when not working on the document, which I’ve never noticed before. I moved the document from iCloud to my local hard disk and now Pages is down to 0.3% when the document is open and not being edited, which is what it should be
