So far, so good!įor forensic purposes I tried comparing the old and new databases, but they're both over 10 MB in size, and there were enough differences that I didn't feel like spending a lot of time on it. The CPU usage of trustd did temporarily shoot up, but it went back to 0% within a few seconds and stayed there. And the next time nsurlsessiond connected to everything was fine. When I booted back into macOS, the files were regenerated.

(I kept the files instead of removing them, just in case.) These files are located in the directory /private/var/protected/trustd/ on Big Sur and /Library/Keychains/crls/ on Mojave. I booted into recovery mode and renamed the valid.sqlite3 files. This works on both my M1 Mac mini and my Intel MacBook Pro. I believe I've discovered a "permanent" solution to the problem.

By the way, I originally believed the issue was related to yesterday's Google Chrome update - which I installed on both of my machines right before noticing the issue - but that turned out to be just a coincidence, ruled out by totally uninstalling Chrome and also talking with other people experiencing the issue. Hopefully more details later, and I encourage others to investigate the issue as well.

I don't yet have a full technical analysis, because it's been less than 24 hours, I'm scrambling to diagnose the issue, and there are pesky non-computing activities such as sleep that get in the way. Thus, if you prevent connections to, you can avoid the issue. My theory is that there was some kind of configuration change on, and macOS for some reason is having trouble with the downloaded data. I haven't had time to analyze the databases yet. You can use the lsof command-line tool to see which files trustd has open. Which makes sense, because trustd stores certificate information in SQLite databases. I took a sample of the trustd process, and it's spending a lot of time in sqlite functions. (Note that I have Analytics disabled in the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences on both Macs.)

My impression is that this is all caused by some kind of macOS diagnostic logging related to power management, which is why it occurred on my MacBook Pro when I plugged in the power cord. This happens about every 5 minutes on my Mac mini, which is of course always plugged in to the AC power. The CPU usage of trustd is 0% at that point. Here you see it attempting to connect to right after I plug my MacBook Pro into the power adapter (more on that later). On my MacBook Pro, I set Little Snitch to ask for nsurlsessiond connection attempts. In any case, I haven't spent as much time testing the external boot volumes, so I don't want to say definitely that the issue can't be reproduced on older macOS versions. I'm going to try later to update those unpatched volumes, but I haven't had time yet, because the updates could take hours (sigh). Whereas I almost never hear the Mac mini fans.) I haven't been able to reproduce it booted into my external disk with macOS 11.2.1 or an unpatched 10.15.7, so this issue may be related somehow to the security updates on April 26.

(I can hear the fans running on my MacBook Pro, which is how I first noticed the issue. I can also reproduce it, though not as reliably, on my Intel MacBook Pro running macOS 10.14.6 patched with the latest security updates. I can reproduce the issue easily on my M1 Mac mini running the latest macOS 11.3.1. It's important to note that this is only a temporary workaround to the CPU usage problem trustd is an important macOS system process that checks certificate validity and revocation status, so you probably don't want to block forever. You may have to reboot or force quit trustd to get its CPU usage back to normal. It seems that the issue can be temporarily solved by preventing nsurlsessiond from connecting to. On investigation, I found that the nsurlsessiond process was connecting to the server, and immediately afterward trustd CPU jumped from 0% to 100%. I've heard from several other people who started noticing the same issue yesterday too, one of whom helpfully referred me to this reddit thread with even more reports. Yesterday I started noticing another issue with trustd, but this time the issue was a little different: very high CPU usage. Back then I discovered that the trustd process was having trouble connecting to, an issue temporarily solved by preventing connection attempts to that domain (for example in Little Snitch). Six months after the Mac OCSP appocalypse, here we go again, and here I go again.
