acountsd issues

[tom111]

The Update was no problem. Clover and Kexts not updated.
But I have the acountsd problem, already on macOS 10.15.6

I had the accountsd problem too. Fixed it by stopping the commerce process and then restarting.

Unfortunately can't fix the accountsd problem. It takes 400-500% CPU.
things like
- Apple ID signout/signin,
- Unchecking everything from sync
- Internet and mail accounts removal
- just recreating /Library/Accounts/Accounts4.sqlite ,
- rebuilding caches (I have only native things in /L/E)
- executing
`sudo -v ; killall -9 accountsd http://com.apple.iCloudHelper ; defaults delete MobileMeAccounts ; mkdir ~/Library/Accounts/Backup ; mv ~/Library/Accounts/*.sqlite* ~/Library/Accounts/Backup/ ; killall -9 accountsd http://com.apple.iCloudHelper ; sudo reboot`
etc was not helpful.
I.e. if I sign in into any Apple service, it starts taking > 100% CPU

https://mrmacintosh.com/catalina-10-15-7-update-accountsd-using-400-if-using-icloud-mail/ some recommendations (but them was not helpful for me too).

same issue. after update on 10.15.7 got the 300+% usage by accountsd process.
Signing out from Apple ID helped me. But now Apple services are not available.

As I read here it is common issue. Apple hasn't recognised the issue so we have to wait until they fix it.

Thank you, solution from one of the comments worked for me:

1. log out of Icloud
2. reboot into safe mode
3. log into Icloud
4. reboot
