My Question or Issue

I've noticed a strange CPU consumption from spotify, it's constantly using 20% of my cpu triggering my loud fans even without any music being played.

The --show-console showed a very fast loop about AmazonWakeUpMeter

I am facing the same issue on all of machines running linux. The flatpak version consume too much cpu, so i shifted to the package from AUR repo but that also sometimes goes upto a higher range when using my pc. And it starts lagging on my lapton running ryzen 7. Only thing that works well is the WEBSITE version of spotify.
