100% CPU usage?

Hey there,
I noticed my battery has been draining quickly lately.
When using the Mac's Activity Monitor, I noticed 100% CPU usage from PT4 and the app was flagged as draining my battery. This happens when using the "Get Hands While Playing" feature: it doesn't use that much CPU in idle.
Has something changed recently? I've updated PT4 to latest version (v4.18.24), is it from the latest version?

Thank you for your quick reply.
I can confirm that, after downgrading to the previous version v4.18.23, the CPU usage is back to normal with low CPU usage when using "Get Hands While Playing" feature.
I've submitted a bug report on your support as requested.
