super-productivity: Super Productivity v7.7.0 High CPU Usage

• Half of my CPU utilization goes to Super Productivity which is alot when you consider that gonna be idle until you complete the work, weirdly It also does on Linux based systems, Are they using resources to mine crypto ? Open source right ?, Analyze the program report the right issue please

Thanks for opening this up. Not sure what to do about this tbh and I a m unable to reproduce this (on my system it’s between 0 and 2%). If anybody has a suggestion, please speak up 😃

Hey @johannesjo, I have been able to reproduce the issue on Windows using the installation from Windows Store (I can’t use the portable one as I rely heavily on a taskbar shortcut).

The issue appears when there’s a Take a break or Time estimated exceeded notification and you click on the notification. It’s exactly when my laptop starts taking off to Hawai and my CPU becomes bloated with SupProd like in this issue first screenshot.

Hope it helps, I’m sorry I don’t have the time nor knowledge to help with this bug otherwise.

I can reproduce, about 10% idle and a full CPU thread. Linux snap package, XPS 15 7590 Intel i7-9750H. Great app though!

Thank you @mathisgauthey ! I also made a new release just now (will take a little for the windows store to provide the latest version though).

It does seem to have fixed it. Thank you very much. Please feel free to resolve.

I made several adjustments for 7.11.5. Please let me know if the new build improves the situation.

Thank you @mathisgauthey ! I also made a new release just now (will take a little for the windows store to provide the latest version though).

Small update, but I haven’t had any new high CPU usage despite clicking on every notification (Break timer, time exceeded, etc) and using the minimized to tray option.

There’s another issue since, but the high CPU load seems to be fixed at least on Windows 11.

Link to the new issue since last release 7.17.0 : https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity/issues/2964

Sure, but my Microsoft store version is 7.15.0, should I get the update elsewhere ?

You should be able to download a new windows build here (at the bottom of the page): https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity/actions/runs/7356939423

Thanks. I installed using superProductivity Setup 7.17.0.exe. I can no longer go full throttle of the CPU by clicking on the taskbar icon. I will use it a bit next week and give my review for the notification click part of the issue.

I find Super Productivity as a tool more viable and useful to be honest, But I found the issue with the CPU more often even with Other OS with different environments, Yes u right but I’m not the one who only facing the issue here so If you can’t solve the issue just leave the feedback someone will fix the issue anyway
