Re: Higher than expected(?) energy usage

Thanks for your observations, Akshay. I’m not sure about whether my Dashboard is “open” or not, but my screen does not show it. What shows in the pgAdmin window is a query window with no query running. But whatever was going on yesterday when I wrote the original email is no longer happening. It is now using under 1% of energy, even though pgAdmin is immediately visible beneath the Activity Monitor window, so I’m gong to chalk that up to a glitch.

Thanks for looking at this for me.

Regards,

Jack

But, to my surprise, it was pgAdmin. When I drilled down into it, I saw that it was “nwjs Helper (Renderer)” (not the child “Python" under it). And the number was between 15 and 20 of the system. This while the window was off-screen and no queries or anything were going on in the program (I haven’t touched the app in a couple hours, and the numbers were consistent over my period of observation, which was 15-20 minutes).
