FPS randomly slugging down to 10fps
Wasn't able to get an answer to fix my issue the first time, so I'm reposting with a bunch of updates.
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 during battle, flying in the overworld, basically anywhere, lasting for 3-4 seconds each, where I'm basically stuck playing FFXIV as 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, and it's honestly been making my game nigh-unplayable for high-end content, 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
-Updated all graphics drives + restarted computer
-Lowered graphics settings (FPS stays the same regardless of where I put it)
-Switched between DLSS and FSR
-Checked for overheating (Its consistently at 44C)
-Disabled Vsync/Gsync
-Set FPS cap to screen refresh rate using all 3 possible methods
-Closed down all background apps
-Unplugged extra devices/controller
-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 23H2
-Rolled back graphics driver
