Lightroom v7.4.1 for Mac struggles with batch noise editing

Question

Hello Lightroom community!

Lately (and I mean very recently) I've been figuring out ways to speed up editing in my workflow, and recently discovered that you could, using the Enhance command, batch edit via AI Denoise a handful of photos. What it calculated for 37 .dng photos was about 12-14 minutes of estimated time on a 2020 16" MacBook Pro (Intel i9 8-core; AMD Radeo Pro 5500M, 16GB RAM on Sonoma 14.6) is taking...well...actually more time than ever (as I type this it's been about five hours; and no progress made.) It seems to get stuck on "2 photos" of the 37 I had selected to batch edit for denoising, the photos in question are RAW images from a Google Pixel 7 Pro smartphone. I haven't tested batch editing of RAW images from any other camera, so I don't know if it's a bug with Lightroom or if it's something to do with the images themselves?

I haven't seen any error messages indicating any issues, and I haven't tried duplicating this in Windows (yet.)

Update: after really digging into Lightroom, and adjusting some visual settings, it was determined that it was also trying to "denoise" photos that were already denoised previously (probably by me - oops) and this stalled it. It is as I type this, working as intended. (Windows, and also Mac.)

I will request this be labeled as "resolved".
