Hi,
I have noticed that RDM has high energy usage on my Mac Book Pro M3 (newest macOS) even when I have no sessions open to anything. I'm looking at the "Energy impact" column of Activity Monitor. It's not un-normal to see it at around 80-90 but might drop down to 10, however, other apps like Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Teams sits even lower at 1-3 and Edge has multiple active (not sleeping) tabs open and Teams is always waiting for messages to pop in. Other apps might get high some high numbers but fall down to near 0 again quickly. RDM shouldn't really be doing anything so I'm wondering what is going on.
Hope you could shine some light on what is going on and if you can fix it so the battery is not drained unnecessarily.
These are all screenshots taken while RDM has no sessions open and RDM has not been used for over 20 minutes.
First screenshot is while I'm in a Teams Meeting (oops, I should probably had paid more attention there!) with video and another person is presenting, so that is why it's high. Edge is at 8.8. RDM however is idling at 90!

Second screenshot is after the Teams meeting and RDM has fallen quite a bit in Energy Impact but is still using a lot when it is not actually doing anything. Edge has 12 open tabs that are not sleeping.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
What RDM version and data source type are you using?
I'm running RDM version 2025.3.6.9 on the same machine connected to a Devolutions Server data source, and RDM is idling between 2.0 to 4.0.
Best regards,

Hi Erica,
I'm using 2025.3.6.9 as well but using a Azure SQL Server as data source. macOS is 26.1. I would say 2 to 4 while RDM that is doing nothing is a lot compared to Edge with 12 active tabs open. But of cause, it is much better than what I'm seeing.
Best regards,

Hello Anders,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have an open discussion with our developer team about this behavior. We will let you know once they find something about this.
Thank you for being so patient.

Hello Anders,
A ticket has been submitted to our development team. Even if they have an idea, it's not an easy fix to implement, and may take some time to be resolved.
We will post it here once a fix is available.
Thank you for being so patient.
Best regards,
