killall plasmashell; systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashellTested in a new user. Issue still persists.
systemctl --user status plasma-plasmashell

I can’t confirm if it is using too much CPU right now /edit: it doesn’t , but I wouldn’t kill plasma like that as it doesn’t terminate things “gracefully”, (nor do you give it much time with ; to begin with). If I’d need to reload configs and restart I’d use
systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service
Thank you! This is more consistent to restart plasmashell then the command I was using. But it doesn’t fix the underlying problem. The issue reappears on opening application launcher.
As a workaround, I will hotkey this command to a shortcut to quickly restart plasma.
kwin_wayland seems to be related to plasmashell --no-respawn in that it also stops using so much cpu when I restart plasmashell with this command.
Doing this helped for some reason even after creating new user didn’t.
I am also having this problem, how do i fix it without completely resetting?
In my case, the PlasmaShell process is jumping between 10% and 30% CPU usage in htop. But I’ve discovered this only happens when certain applications are running, namely Chromium or Brave browser. Both are Electron apps, but other Electron apps, such as Codium and Teams, are not causing this issue.
And restarting plasma-plasmashell.service didn’t help it my case…
