2019 MBP touch bar mojave freezing half a second every 4 seconds starting today lol

2019 macbook pro touch bar here, latest Mojave version before Catalina. New issue has appeared just today. When moving my internal trackpad, external magic trackpad, or even a logitech mouse, the cursor freezes for a second every 4-5 seconds while moving and is really really annoying. ive restarted already. i didnt install any recent updates or system changes. the only changes i made was install xcode so i could install bluetooth explorer to force AAC over bluetooth to fix a headphone lag i had with bluetooth but that has nothing to do with my trackpad. what else can i try?

EDIT: when typing i notice that keyboard freezes at the same intervals that the cursor so it seems the entire macbook is freezing for a split second every 4-5 seconds

I have had an issue similar to this where an unexpected device is vying for control. This could be a mouse at the bottom of a backpack that was accidentally switched on, for example. But you can also reset BT by holding down Shift+Option and right-clicking the BT icon -> Debug -> Reset.
