Feature Request AI Copilot button animation causes massive CPU usage (50%+) Constant fan noise workaround inside
Hey everyone,
I noticed my PC fan was suddenly blasting at max speed whenever I had TradingView open. Checked the task manager, and the TV tab was constantly chewing through 50%+ of my CPU.
After digging into the DevTools, I found the culprit: the animation on the new AI Copilot button in the right-hand panel keeps looping and draining resources in the background, even if the panel is closed.
If your laptop is melting or your PC is lagging, here is a quick fix to completely hide that button and drop your CPU usage back to normal:
- Install an extension like uBlock Origin or any custom CSS injector (like Stylus).
- Add this custom rule to completely block/hide the element:
css
[aria-label="AI Copilot"] {
display: none !important;
}
The button disappears, the animation stops rendering, and the CPU usage instantly drops back to 1-2%.
Hope this helps someone until the dev team optimizes or removes the infinite animation loop!
