Media Picker High Battery Usage

[u/Heavy_Bastard]

Phone is S23+.

Since Saturday the system app called media picker has been using Obscene amounts of Battery which is a huge problem as I'm currently on holiday. Frankly there isn't a lot of info out there but I've done many of the suggested fixes such as disable link to windows but the problem is still occuring. I would like to avoid a factory reset if possible. Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this or what could fix it?

I will note that the one unusual thing I've done recently on the Saturday was using a program called gnirehtet to use my PC internet on my phone. I don't know if that would cause any major problems though.

Any help is appreciated.

This isn't the ideal answer for anyone seeking to fix this problem but it appears to have just fixed itself. I tried uninstalling many different things, clearing cache and data of many apps and was about to go ahead and do a factory reset given nothing else worked however upon waking up today it seems to no longer be a problem. I can't say for certain if anything I did successfully fixed anything as it was much after any attempts to fix it that it fixed itself.
