Some other infos KDE Frameworks 5.42.0 Qt 5.9.2 Moreover, maybe unrelated to the bug, but I have noticed that everytime Plasma ceases to hang, a popup of updates notification appears from the Plasma panel notification icon

Could you please try with a fresh Plasma configuration? (Move ~/.config/plasma*rc temporary away, or create a new user account) If this is not reproducible there, try to find out which change causes the CPU issue. Otherwise, even try to remove the default widgets (task bar, notification area, etc.) It could give us a clue which part of the code is responsible for the CPU usage.
If you can provide the information requested in comment #3, please add it.
To further investigate this issue, Plasma developers need the information requested in comment #3. If you can provide it, or need help with finding that information, please add a comment.
