M4 Pro Mini has high CPU usage when sleeping

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. I've noticed that my M4 Pro Mini seems to still be quite warm even after several hours in "sleep-mode".

Looking at iStat Menus, I can see that the CPU activity & temperature peaks quite often while sleeping, e.g.

Temperatures during those periods of activity rise to about 63C, but decrease when I start using the machine, which would indicate it is a background activity. I can see that Spotlight uses quite a lot of CPU over the previous 12 hours:

But I am surprised it is still indexing after a week of usage - I am only indexing the internal SSD, which has a handful of new apps installed. I have a dock and an external SSD mounted, but have disabled indexing for this drive.

Is there an easy way to determine exactly what processes are running during these periods of high CPU activity during sleep?

Thanks!
