PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

hmm strange, maybe some applet but when I was using it on my 3rd gen i7 laptop it never went silent and the CPU usage could spike to even 20% when idle
Maybe something wrong with the GPU in your setup?
I could see kwin using a lot more CPU if the compositing fell back onto software rendering instead of hardware rendering
I'd go with some applet as the culprit. I use a Haswell i7 laptop and it's quiet
3rd gen i7 is outdated
Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack
I run Plasma 5 on a 2nd gen i7 laptop and it's idling just fine and quietly most of the time with no such spikes unless I have several apps running, including a web browser with a plethora of tabs.
