Symptoms

The SleepAgentServer process may consume 30–100 percent of available CPU time on Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager current branch clients that are running on Windows 10-based computers that have the May 2019 version 1903 update installed.   Multiple entries that resemble the following are recorded in the Sleepagent.log file:
