MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), MacOS 10.15.7, 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 Rancher 1.7.0 After running a pretty intensive docker image (not kubernetes) I have a considerable amount of CPU usage. No containers are running. kernel_task appears to be the problem. What might I have broken?

Your

htop

output shows that Rancher Desktop is still running. Maybe you just closed the app window? Is the menu bar icon still there, then run

Quit Rancher Desktop

from it's context menu to really terminate it. Or from the shell run

rdctl shutdown

.

Jan, thank you for your response. I'll try your suggestions when I start it back up.
