My avid project was doing just fine until recently. Suddenly it started rainbow wheeling all the time.

EDIT: For anyone experiencing rainbow wheeling and looking for answers, we have solved this problem. It had nothing to do with Avid. We reset the NVRAM and reset the SMC and our performance issues have been fine ever since

OS: Mac Monterey Version 12.4

Avid Version: 2022.7.0

The console was producing this error: BuildPipes Concurrency Alert – BuildPipes starting with BuildPipes in progress!

And I saw some talk about changing the resolution on my display. I did so, but it's still rainbow wheeling. I've also tried adding memory to my media cache. We have about 40 gb of ram. I'm noticing that startup is taking a long time to initialize "errorhandlingplugin.avx."

It's possible that some of our footage is doing this? We have some group clips that we use with the scriptsync plugin and I've seen people talking about errors connected to group clips. If anyone could help, that would be very appreciated.

Here's my console output on startup:
