High CPU usage online accounts/icloud accountsd process and com.apple.extensionKit.error

[duke77]

Hi all,

I was brosing in settings and I realised that if I enter into online accounts >>icloud the cpu usage goes to the roof then if I click on expand all and click on back arrow the window crashed with the following error: com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain 15.

Also the process accountsd takes lots of CPU usage up to 90% (see screenshot) while I am in this menu.

Oddly this this doesn't happen when I open icloud settings from my user ID at the top of the settings app.

doing a google search I found a post in apple forums about the same issue:

It occurs when I follow these steps:

1. Go to System Settings > Internet Accounts.
2. Select iCloud from the list of accounts.
3. Navigate to the Apps Using iCloud and then click Show All.
4. Click on the back button.
5. then, this error pop up (Error de com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain 15.)

Just bear in mind that this behavior only happens when I go into preferences/online accounts/icloud acc.

Has anyone noticed this error too? latest ventura 13.3.1 (a) on MBP pro 14 M1
