telemetryd_v2 High CPU in macOS

I've been seeing this process have consistently high CPU use. According to Activity Monitor, it's a child process of wdavdaemon_enterprise. I tried disabling realtime protection, but that did not decrease the CPU use. The other notable change that I can think of is that I downloaded the Chromium codebase yesterday and built it, so I'm wondering if that's causing the cloud submission process to go crazy. I looked at this page, but it only discusses realtime scanning.

 

Can anyone provide insight on what this specific process is responsible for? Thanks.
