gnome-shell CPU usage spiking

So I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and gnome-shell seems to spike at random, causing my system to freeze for around 5 seconds before resuming. I've tried disabling all extensions but that didn't help. I've captured a few logs and it seems that this happens every time the CPU usage spikes:

Jan 31 21:28:11 prestige gnome-shell[1386]: Some code accessed the property 'CredentialManager' on the module 'credentialManager'. That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.

Jan 31 21:28:11 prestige gnome-shell[1386]: Unset XDG_SESSION_ID, getCurrentSessionProxy() called outside a user session. Asking logind directly.

Jan 31 21:28:11 prestige gnome-shell[1386]: Error looking up permission: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.portal.Error.NotFound: No entry for geolocation

Jan 31 21:28:11 prestige gnome-shell[1386]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/layout.js 24]: reference to undefined property "MetaWindowX11"

Jan 31 21:28:11 prestige gnome-shell[1386]: Registering session with GDM

I'm not really sure where to go with this so I figured I'd post here and see if anyone had any suggestions or can make sense of this log.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
