Corespotlightd Using Significant CPU In 11.2.2 (20D80)

Hello! I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing a significant CPU drain from Spotlight (specifically corespotlightd) in macOS 11.2.2. Since updating to macOS 11.2.2 any time that I access spotlight using Command + Space Bar I immediately experience a system wide lag. Viewing this in Activity Monitor I see a %CPU spike of corespotlightd in the realm of 200-400%. that last for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. I have sent this in through Feedback Assistant, but no other reports seem to have been linked to the radar. I have attempted a few different fixes as well: Terminal killall corespotlightd resolves the issue momentarily, but does not fix long term Restarting computer does nothing to solve Re-indexing spotlight does not solve I have also disabled more advanced search functions (Bookmarks and History, Contacts, Events and Reminders, Fonts, Mail & Messages, Music, Siri Suggestions, and Movies are all disabled) - This did not fix the issue. I have also disabled search for external hard drives which also did not solve the issue. Open to any other suggestions for fixes, or if anyone else has a similar issue. Mac mini, 2018 (2020 release), 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4. External GPU Radeon RX 570 4 GB.

Shortcuts: Stopping shortcut while action is occurring?

Hello all, I have something of an odd question. I am trying to make a shortcut that runs in the following way:1. User presses start2. User is given verbal prompts at a specific speed to take an action (in this case these prompts are inputted as text and then outputted using Speak Text)3. While text is being spoken, alert is showed that asks the user to press OK when they want the prompts to stop.4. When OK is pressed, end Speak Text no matter where it is Within the inputted text. I am getting stuck on the 4th step. I have everything else functioning, but when OK is pressed “Exit Shortcut” is applied, but does not end the shortcut. The Spoken Text continues. The only way it appears to stop the spoken text is to force quit the Shortcuts App. Is there a way around this? The spoken text in my case is at a set rhythm and therefore we want it to continue (essentially) indefenitiely. Thanks so much!
