Recent Update (August 2022) is back to constantly using 100%+ CPU
I've had nothing but problems with BitDefender using insane amounts of resources on my M1 MBP, but it's required for work so I haven't had another choice.
For the past month or so, the problems had mostly gone away, but after a recent update this month it's back to routinely pegging a CPU core at 100% (or even hitting almost 200% on multiple cores) after waking from sleep. The only fix I've found is to reboot, so I'm stuck rebooting my laptop multiple times a day to keep it from draining battery.
How do I even go about diagnosing this? It seems pretty easy to reproduce, just have an M1 MBP and use it.

@mlmcmillion same issue here. Seems to spin up to 100% almost every 30mins.

Yeah I don't think this issue is the same as the full scan after boot. This just seems to be like a slow memory leak over the course of the day except it's spinning up threads and using CPU.

Do we know if this issue is even being looked at by support?

I have a Sony Experia 10inch tablet with Anroid 7.1.1.
Since installing Bitdefender my tablet is regularly completely drained of all charge.
As an experiment today, I charged to 100% overnight then turned the device on this morning, but did not use.
I suppose on standby would be the term.
Turned on at 10.00
Checked at 12.00 charge was 77%
Help please

I'm having the same issue. Was not able to do anything on the PC, since CPU 100%. Uninstalled and probably won't be renewing given the recent issues and price gouging.
Windows10 fresh install
Uninstalling removed the 95-100% CPU load issue of bitdefender
No issues running the VPN.
The problem only arose after the new bitdefender update.
