16" M1 Macbook Pro high GPU usage (50%-80%) when no app is running

This happens with no application except Chrome is running on my M1 Macbook Pro (no external monitor). By comparison, GPU usage is < 10% on my Intel Macbook Pro.


Is this normal? Process list shows nothing is consuming much GPU either.

Looks like it may be a bug in iStats Menu. macOS's Activity Monitor is showing lower numbers. fyi.
