Cpu throttling

dunno what is happening but my framerate will go from completely fine to really bad over the course of maybe an hour. my cpu and gpu start at the same ms but my cpu will gradually ramp to the point where my fps drops to 10 from around 120. if i close the game and reopen it the problem resets but it will eventually ramp to the same place it was before. i have an rtx 2080 super and a ryzen 9 3900. i played the 0.4 patch for a bit and had no issues. i logged in the other day to do a practice run and was having the same issues but it wouldn't reset after closing. no idea what's actually causing the problem. my pc runs other games with max graphics just fine and my pc isn't thermal throttling either. temps stay around 50 degrees. seems like a poe 2 issue? i'm not sure

Having similar issues as well, engaging for visibility!
still wondering what's going on and if there are any fixes on the way? once my game get starts to dip closing my game doesn't seem to fix the issue. restarting my computer does but having to restart my computer every 30 minutes is not something i would like to do
day 3 of this issue! haven't this problem mentioned in known bugs. seen around youtube comments and forums people having this problem. nothing i've done has fixed the problem permanently. seems like my shader cache gets really full. deleting the shader cache only temporarily fixes the problem. memory leak problem possibly?
day 4 of this continuing issue! makes me sad
I am also having issues with my CPU. It is spiking over 100% and eventually causing my PC to crash due to failing cores. This only happens when I play this game(POE II). I have an Intel i9 with an RTX 3080 GPU
