Bug description

Issue:
After updating to version 1.20.2, Herd is causing significant battery drain even when the application is idle.

Details:
I left my MacBook M2 Pro (which is relatively new) idle for two hours, and the battery was completely drained—something I’ve never experienced before. Upon reviewing the Energy Usage in macOS Activity Monitor, I found that Herd was consuming an unusually high amount of power during this time.

Expected Behavior:
Herd should remain energy-efficient when idle, especially when running in the background or with no user interaction.

Actual Behavior:
Herd continues to consume power aggressively, leading to rapid battery depletion.
