Upgrade StorageZotero7 beta consumes too much power in macOS environment（在macOS下能耗过高）
# A. macOS system activity monitor shows:
1. zotero7 (beta.55+9151fb355) maintains an "impact on energy consumption" of more than 1700 points even when not in operation, sometimes even reaching 2200 points. This figure is even greater than with a fully loaded browser software!
2. The CPU usage also stays above 100 points in the no-operation state.
3. Intuitively, power consumption is also faster than before the upgrade.
# B. The basic environment in which the software runs:
1. System version: macOS 13.6.3
2. Add-ons loaded: Better Notes 1.1.4-beta.53, Crush Reference 0.6.3, Ethereal Style 3.3.6, Jasminum 1.0.0-14, Translate for Zotero 1.1.0-beta.30
# C. Acknowledgements
As I often need to work without power, this is causing me problems and I hope this issue will be attended to and resolved.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the technicians involved in the open source project.

# A. macOS系统活动监视器显示：
1. zotero7 （beta.55+9151fb355）即使在无操作状态下“对能耗的影响”依然维持1700点以上，有时甚至能达到2200点。这个数据甚至大于满载运行的浏览器软件！
2. 在无操作状态下，CPU占用也维持在100点以上。
3. 直观上电量消耗也比升级前快了。
# B. 软件运行的基本环境：
1. 系统版本：macOS 13.6.3
2.已加载的插件：Better Notes 1.1.4-beta.53，Crush Reference 0.6.3，Ethereal Style 3.3.6，Jasminum 1.0.0-14，Translate for Zotero 1.1.0-beta.30
# C. 致谢
由于我经常需要在无电源状态下工作，这对我造成了困扰，希望这个问题能够得到关注并解决。
我在这里对参与开源项目的技术人员表示由衷的感谢。

# The Ethereal Style v3.3.6 add-on will have problems when it change the PDF background colour by modifying the CSS code.
(原因是我安装的 Ethereal Style 3.3.6 插件通过修改CSS代码改变PDF背景色时发生了问题。)
I will report this to the developers of add-on in time.
And once again, thanks to the project technicians for their work.
The new interface of zotero 7 is pretty gorgeous!

Do you have any plugins installed? If so, see if you can reproduce this in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins.
- Restarted Zotero in Troubleshooting Mode, as suggested.
- Upon restart, in Activity Monitor, Zotero's %CPU shoots above 100% (around 160%) and stays there for a while.
- Noticing that the Sync icon (screenshot 1) was active (i.e,. animated) during high CPU period, I tried stopping the sync. CPU usage immediately drops down to <10%.
- Tried activating sync again, and this time CPU usage raises to 70-80%.
So maybe the problem is related to sync.
Background info:
- Macbook Pro Intel i7, 16GB RAM. OS Ventura 13.7.4.
- Zotero 7.0.11

If you think there's a problem, you should start your own thread and provide a Debug ID for Zotero startup through several minutes of syncing, using the "Restart with Logging Enabled…" option.
