5T33Z0 70 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I recently updated both my systems (an i9 10850K Desktop and a Lenovo T530 Notebook) to macOS 10.15.7 and after that I noticed 400+ per cent CPU utilization of the service "accountsd" in combination with "commerce". Once I force quit commerce everything returns to normal for a ffew minutes until the commerce service restarts automatically I've read this issue could be related to: • iCloud (which I don't use) • Apple Mail / MS Exhcange (I dont use Exchange) I deleted all my eMail Accounts and recreated them but the issue still remains. I read somewhere that reinstalling the 10.15.7 combo-update should fix the issue – it doesn't. Renaming the service impossible because it is protected. It's located at: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CommerceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/commerce Any insight on this topic is highly aprreciated Link to post Share on other sites
Neblogas 4 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I've had the same issue today. Removed Apple ID and other online accounts. Till now is everything quiet. Also read that reseting nvram fixes the issue, but i did not try. Link to post Share on other sites
Hervé 2,053 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Same issue that affects Mojave (and probably High Sierra) since the Security Update 2020-005 that accompanied 10.15.7. Seems the Intern stroke again at Apple! Link to post Share on other sites
5T33Z0 70 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) I removed the Apple ID as well on both of my systems (I have a Lenovo T530 Laptop as my office computer) Then, I tried to log in via System Preferences but it wouldn't let me because I don't use 2-way-authentication. My workaround was to login via the App Store which worked without problems. The problem has gone since then and everything is back to normal.

kushwavez 132 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Was same on my 10.15.6 Acer, and on 10.15.7 desktop (almost at the same time). I didn't do anything and the desktop returned to normal after a restart. My notebook however remained the same after several restart and interestingly today the issue is gone. idk what was that Link to post Share on other sites
