Is the background apps closed as well? I wonder if you have a background app that are constantly using or interacting with the system that Command Center need to keep it updated? Honestly, I am just throwing out possible idea.
I recalled there was an issue with Google Play service consuming higher usage than other apps when Play is not in focus. Turns out it is apps that are using Google Play services for GCD or GSM, causing wake lock issues. The reason why they are seeing the higher usage because the Google Play services is the one that are interacting with the system and the network and it is the third party app that initiate the call which put Google Play service as scapegoat. Unfortunately, Android phone does not have a way to separate them.
I wonder if this also applies in macOS. I remember I had a issue with Windows service that are consuming a high cpu usage which is abnormal. I ran malware and antivirus scanning and come up clean. It still didn't explain why the service is so high. So I used ProcMon (Process Monitor) to keep a log of what is interacting with the service. It took me a while to filter it out because it have 100 new entries every second for that service. Found out it that third party app that are hitting the service hard, I assume the app was misbehaving and caused this. So I force closed the app and restart it, it went back to normal.
I wonder if macOS have process monitor for checking this out?
