Do you have any usb devices or other hardware attached? Do you have any background scripts running? Try running without those installed. if possible. If you copied your home directory, try a clean user.
For example, I have an external light meter I made from instructions online and the script for it was accessing the brightness of the monitor with ddcutil and causing a similar spike. I rewrote it to use kscreen-doctor.













Got to love Crunchyroll…
