1 month ago I saw this happen even with AlDente turned off. Apparently it seems to be caused by non-OEM batteries.
Only potential solution I found is to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher and disabling firmware throttling. (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macbookpro-mid-2015-mds_stores-or-configd-cpu-high-load.2380126/page-5?post=32601823#post-32601823)
Wondering if there is anything AlDente can do to help users with non-OEM batteries. 🤔
MacBook (please complete the following information):
MacBook Model (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201608): MacBookPro11,5, (A1398), Intel, Quad i7

Charger Model (Apple, Third Party, Wattage,...): Apple 85W Magsafe 2 (original adapter that came with the device, did repair the magsafe port )
Charging Cable (MagSafe 2, MagSafe 3, USB-C, Apple, Third Party,...):
AlDente Pro or AlDente Free: AlDente Pro
AlDente Version: 1.27.3
List or add screenshots of all enabled/disabled settings in AlDente:
External Monitor connected? yes, 24" BenQ 1080p
MacBook used in Clamshell Mode (with the lid closed)? no, using the Macbook Screen also for work
Describe the bug I am not sure if this is because of AlDente, but I don't face this issue when AlDente is turned off. I have experimented this a couple of times but I face this only when AlDente is turned on.
When AlDente is turned on, my CPU is overloaded. As crazy it would seem. I suppose a lot of factors are at play but reporting this just in case.
configd and powerd seem to take up high cpu usage. Especially configd. When I turn off AlDente the CPU comes back down.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected Behavior Just be able to use my system normally.
Additional context I have replaced the MagSafe 2 port because the original one just died. I have replaced my battery with an iFixit battery because the original one just died.
Sorry if this will be a waste of time but reporting just in case.
