In Xcode 13 beta 5 (and earlier betas) when the Simulator is running, a Spotlight process is using 100% CPU causing significant battery drain.

And this forum post sharing a workaround:

cd ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices
find . -name com.apple.suggestions.plist -exec plutil -replace SuggestionsAppLibraryEnabled -bool NO {} ";"
These commands resolved it for me.
Steps to reproduce:
Run Xcode 13 simulator, e.g. iPhone 12 mini.
Launch Activity Monitor, see the Spotlight process using 100% CPU.
