TVAI 7.02: 1 GPU process suddenly turns into 3 discrete GPU processes and massive drop in fps

In the running rendering process with average 1.9 and 2.1 fps, after 5 hours TVAI 7.02 suddenly turns a typical single GPU process with 94% utilization into 3 discrete GPU processes with around 30% each (macOS activity monitor). Although these 3 processes add up to almost 100% GPU performance, at the same time the fps value drops almost fourfold to 0.6. However, this GPU problem has not yet been reproduced.

Another problem:
Since version 7.0.1, as in this case, it is also noticeable that the CPU is no longer utilized. The power consumption always remains below 200%. In versions 6.2 and 7.0, this was always around 650%. This has a significant influence on the rendering time.

I use Apple M4 Max. 64 GB RAM, 48 GB VRAM and macOS Soquoia 15.5.

(I am posting this here because I have not yet been granted write access in the beta tester community).

The activity monitor does not track teh neural engine usage, try doing a clean install of the beta.
