Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1600

When running games like Blue Archive, Princess Connect Re:Dive, Heaven burns red, these games use same engine and framework, and because of some unknown reason(possibly like no limit to FPS etc.). When running these games, no matter how good the performance of the computer is, the game seems to take up as many CPU resources, and the computer temperature will reach an abnormal temperature. But when the Mac is turned on low battery mode and limit the CPU frequency, the game can still run perfectly. And these games will not make these devices very hot when running on iPhone and iPad. Therefore, it is suspected that the game does not impose restrictions on the occupancy of resources, resulting in full performance anyway. When running these games, the temperature of the computer is much higher than that of running the Genshin Impact or HSR with max picture quality.
当运行像 蔚蓝档案, 公主连结, 炽焰天穹 这种游戏的时候, 这些游戏用了相同的技术和框架，结果出于一些不知道的原因（可能是没有限制FPS）之类的，在运行这些游戏的时候，不管电脑的性能多好，游戏像是有多少CPU资源就占用掉多少一样，并且电脑温度会达到一个惊人的温度。但是当给Mac开启低电量模式，CPU降频时，游戏仍然可以完美地运行。而且这些游戏在iPhone，iPad上运行时也不会让这些设备变得很烫。所以怀疑是游戏没有对资源占用作出限制，导致性能不管怎样都会跑满。运行这些游戏时电脑的温度比运行满画质的原神或者星穹铁道还要高得多得多

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an option to limit the application's use of CPU (or other similar methods) to the option of a single application, so that the game does not occupy too many resources. Because the game does not need so many CPU usage to run perfectly. Make the computer not so hot.
在单个应用的选项里添加一个限制应用使用电脑性能资源的选项（或者其他类似的方法），来让游戏不会异常占用过多资源。因为这游戏并不需要这么多资源也能完美运行. 让电脑没有那么烫

Anything else?

这个问题从初版我就发现了，似乎和playTools有关，移除后就不会有cpu高占用的问题。很讨厌，不知道能不能修复。
I've noticed this problem since the first version, and it seems to be related to playTools. After removing it, there will be no high CPU usage problem. It's very annoying, I don't know if it can be fixed.

I don't know why the cpu usage is high, and compared to the steam version of the game which looks much better. I prefer the steam version because it does not cause my Mac's temperature to rise.
