    FPS constantly slugging down to -10FPS

    I've been having this issue for a good couple of months now. When I first log into the game I'm always able to get clean 60+ FPS, but then I will get bunch of sudden spikes of slowdown after loading into the game, consistently every 3-4 seconds, where FFXIV becomes a slideshow, complete with input lag as well.

    This ONLY happens with FFXIV, I've never had this issue with any other game I own, including games with more intense graphics/with many players (Fortnite, Baldur's Gate, Overwatch etc. all run without issue). It's honestly been making my game nigh-unplayable, so I'd like to know what else I could try to fix it.

    Here is what it looks like happening. OBS does not affect my framerate in any way.

    I have already tried the following:
    -Made power profile high performance
    -Set FFXIV to high priority in task manager
    -Updated all graphics drives + restarted computer
    -Updated laptop firmware
    -Uninstalled and reinstalled graphics driver with DDU
    -Ran FFXIV in a clean boot
    -Lowered graphics settings (FPS stays the same regardless of where I put it)
    -Switched between DLSS and FSR
    -Checked for overheating (CPU is consistently at 44C, GPU at 80C)
    -Disabled Vsync
    -Set FPS cap to screen refresh rate using all 3 possible methods
    -Closed down all background apps
    -Unplugged extra devices/controller
    -Disabled controllers in FFXIV
    -Disabled all plugins and overlays
    -Disabled fullscreen optimizations
    -Disabled windowed optimizations
    -Disabled Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator
    -Disabled Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling
    -Disabled Discord's hardware acceleration
    -Disabled Game Bar (to the extent I could)
    -Replaced faulty charger
    -Restored game files/integrity check
    -Rolled back to Windows 23H2
    -Rolled back graphics driver
    -Port-forwarded what Square asked me to
    -Disabled Microsoft Edge
