I have noticed that Activity Monitor has a bug on macOS Ventura where the update frequency is 1 second every time I open the app. My settings have it set on 5 seconds. When I click on 5 seconds again, the app updates normally, but if I close Activity Monitor and reopen it, it still updates every 1 second. I am using an M2 MacBook Air. I have tried to delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist file and then reopened the app, that did not fix the problem. I also reinstalled macOS Ventura via recovery mode, that also did not fix the problem. Anybody else having this problem?
 
It's not really an issue for me though (I like it updating more frequently)—also I just use the stats in the menu bar rather than Activity Monitor.

Also, this is not the only issue with Activity Monitor. I posted about this issue with Energy Impact and 12-hour Power
