mediaanalysisd process constantly running and using SSD

[cigz]

Does anyone on Sequoia 15.7.5 and earlier have problems with mediaanalysisd and syspolicyd constantly running and using SSD?
2 weeks ago I have updated from Sonoma to Sequoia and I've seen these 2 processes constantly running but I knew that after an update the OS has to index everything so I didn't care, but it's been 2 weeks and they're still running.
Syspolicyd has slightly "slowed down" but mediaanalysisd is literally running all the time and reading around 100GB of data every single day.
Since I updated, it has already read more than 1TB and written more than 500GB of data. My MacBook has 1TB storage and only half of it is taken so I don't understand why it's taxing my SSD. I've never had this problem on Sonoma.

I read that I can turn off these processes but it requires turning SIP off so I might hold off. Any other solution of how to not even turn off but slow down a little?

This is how much they read and written yesterday:

And here's from Friday:

Also bear in mind that I don't use my Mac 24/7, so it's only happening when I'm using it and that's just few hours every day.
At this point i'm considering downgrading to Sonoma because of this and because of the way Sequoia keeps killing off apps even though my memory pressure is around 20% with no swap.

Yes, I have seen it but as I said in my post - it requires to turn off SIP and I opened this topic because I was wondering if people still have this problem in later versions of Sequoia and maybe someone found a solution to stop it from running or at least reduce the usage of these processes as I haven't had this problem under Sonoma.

"it requires to turn off SIP"

One of the first things I do with my Macs.
Turn off SIP ... and LEAVE IT off.

I've been doing this since Apple first introduced SIP.
Things are still working fine.
