Unraid 7.0.0 - Increasing power usage with webpage left open (I think)

I've got an issue when the Unraid webpage is left open, over time the servers power usage slowly increases.

Below is a screen show from a Tasmota smart plug in Home Assistant. You can see when having the webpage closed the power usage idles around 87W, then with the webpage open it starts steadily increasing. I've seen this rise to 110W before I noticed and closed the webpage.

When the power usage increases, navigating to different tabs on the webpage also seems sluggish, taking a while to open a different tab etc.

Seems others have the same issue, see post on the Unraid subreddit HERE.
 

Issue wasn’t present on 6.12.14 and I’ve not made any significant changes to the system other than upgrading to 7.0.0. Only change has been updating a Server 2022 VM to Server 2025.

I've also tried setting the fastusr flag, as per the 7.0.0 relaese notes, no change. I don't think this is the issue as wasnt seeing high flash writes and have plenty of RAM available (normal usage of 35GB out of 64GB total).

Diagnostics attached.
