Adobe Illustrator v30.1 insane battery drain on M5 Pro MacBook Pro

I recently installed Illustrator v30.1 on this MacBook and opened it. The device temperature spiked within a minute and the battery drain was insane too. It was draining like 1% every 45 to 50 seconds.

I figured through the activity monitor that it was Illustrator as it had 147.2 under the energy tab.

Weirdest part is, I didn’t even have anything in Illustrator, just a text in an empty canvas.

I’m not sure where the problem strictly lies, my MacBook itself or the Illustrator version I got but I assume it’s the Illustrator since closing it makes the device go back to normal.

The device specs and the version of software are the following

• MacBook Pro M5 Pro 15c CPU, 16c GPU
• 24GB/1TB
• macOS Tahoe 26.6.2
• Adobe Illustrator 2026 v30.1

My old 13 inch M1 MacBook Pro had no such issues for 5 straight years but I forgot which versions I used on it. It’s kinda bizarre for a latest model to go through such. Any tips or workarounds to solve this? Thanks!
