It seems that certain apps that affect your network settings, such as AdGuard, can have the adverse effect of locking certain background processes, like CCXProcess (which is from Adobe Creative Cloud), into running at 100%. I wrote it off to just probably a bunch of things indexing and running as part of a new build, and didn't think too much of it, thinking it would be temporary, until I noticed that "CCXProcess" was "Using Significant Energy", along with using 100% CPU utilization in Activity Monitor. Never to the point of being "hot", nor did it ever make any noise, but it was measurably running warmer vs.

But after a few days, I was noticing that it seemed to feel a bit warm.
