Description
Storage Explorer Version: 1.7.0
Platform/OS: macOS High Sierra
Architecture: x64
Regression From: Unknown
Bug description
Idle consumption drains laptop battery quickly. Currently using on one online subscription which has two accounts and around 100 storage accounts in total.
Steps to Reproduce
Monitor energy consumption on MacOs after the application is not used for a while.
Expected Experience
Energy impact should be less than 1% when idle.
Actual Experience
Goes up to 9-10% sometimes. Usually around 3-6% which is a lot for an idle application.
Additional Context
Standard MacOS. No customizations. Patched to the latest version including all security updates.
Might be UI related. Minimizing UI and then switching to other mac apps and then leaving it idle helps. However, it doesn't solve completely.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the idle energy usage on macOS High Sierra with Storage Explorer 1.7.0, using the reported subscription and storage-account setup, while monitoring Activity Monitor. Done means identifying and addressing the cause so the application stays below the reported idle energy target; the issue names no files or tests to begin with.
