Recent app lag with third party launchers ever since 10 update

My phone was lagging and really annoying me and I think I found the problem (for me at least).

Yesterday I went into the "Device Care" section and clicked on "Battery".
I noticed my Power Mode as set to "Medium Power Saving".

This mode limits your CPU to 70% along with some other stupid things.

I set it back to "Optimized" but left the "Adaptive Power Saving" checked.

This morning my phone was lagging again and I went back in only to see it set to "Medium Power Saving" again.
This time I set it back to "Optimized" and then unchecked "Adaptive Power Saving".

Once I put it back in "Optimized" my phone performs as it always had before Android 10.
Not sure if this is a beta bug or what.
I had looked at this long before I made this thread thinking it would help but it did nothing in my case. Today has been good so I really think it was some kind of glitch with me having developer settings enabled.
 
This happened to me with December's update, I had to factory reset before it got rid of the lag. It's now back to normal. It was so bad I went out last month and picked up a OnePlus 7t till I was able to resolve it. Now I am having trouble not using my OP7t lol..
Factory reset didn't do it for me and I was pissed for wasting so much time! I'm very intrigued by the OP7T. Seems like an awesome phone. I'd love to check one out in person but I have no idea where to find one in my area.

I had the same problem, recent apps lag with Nova Launcher after Android 10 update. I can also confirm that turning off Developer Mode and wiping the cache partition seems to have improved the lag significantly for me. Nothing else was lagging, just the recent apps page. Strange.
 
I've been experiencing this also on Nova with Android 10. Not enough to make me not love my device, but it's noticable. I will try some of the ideas here.
 
It did not make the issue go away completely. I have had it happen about 2 or 3 times today but not anywhere near as much as it was happening before. Before, it was so bad that I wanted to throw the phone against the wall. I'll be upgrading to the S20+ as soon as possible so hopefully this little gremlin doesn't follow me.

Mine is lagging on the recent apps consistently again. It does do it on stock launcher as well. I just think I wasn't testing it long enough before but I was able to recreate the issue on the stock launcher last night. It's even happening when I have 3 apps open sometimes. A $1000 phone should not be operating this way. It has 8gb of RAM, there is no way it should be having trouble with anything I throw at it. This is clearly some kind of bug with either One UI or 10.
