pop-upgrade unresponsive to any command

Hi.
Version: PopOS 22.04 LTS

I'm using i3wm alongside pop/gnome . when I login to i3wm the pop-upgrade daemon process keeps running and uses lots of CPU and RAM. I couldn't kill it with sudo killall pop-upgrade and doing anything like pop-upgrade status, the command hangs and doesn't exit even with Ctrl+C .

here are the results of sudo journalctl -u pop-upgrade -f :
