High CPU and disk write usage on Linux Mint 21.3

[cabottech]

I've noticed high CPU and disk write recently. Not sure exactly when this started, but I noticed my laptop fan spinning up a lot lately and found TrayScale was using a lot of resources.

Screenshot of System Monitor:

When it's doing this, I can't open/maximise it from the systray menu > Show (nothing appears), and when I quit with systray menu > Quit, the systray icon disappears, but the process keeps running.

So I End the process in System Monitor and re launch, and Then upon reopening, it is much better behaved - Screenshot:
