High CPU usage with Intune in macOs using Tahoe OS version

Hi, I have a macOS with the Tahoe version and I noticed that my battery would drain rapidly. When I go check, I noticed that Intune is consuming over 500% of the CPU.

 

 

Is this a known issue? Is there a temporary fix or workaround?

 

Thank you!

    Try this as temporary workaround:

     

    1. Reboot and re-enroll
    •    Remove the device from Intune.
    •    Reboot the Mac.
    •    Re-enroll using the Company Portal.
    •    This resets the agent’s sync state and may stop the CPU spike.
    2. Limit compliance policies
    •    If your tenant applies multiple overlapping compliance policies, try reducing them to a single scoped policy per device group.
    •    Avoid policies that check for custom scripts or app installs unless necessary.
    3. Disable background sync

    sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.intune.mdmagent.plist


    ⚠️ This disables the agent until next reboot
    4. Update Intune agent and macOS
    •    Ensure you are running the latest Intune Company Portal and macOS patches.
