GPU dropping to 0% usage, fps drops for 10-20 seconds

I’ve been having this problem off and on for a while, my laptop will run fine while rendering video, daily tasks, and gaming a majority of the time. But more and more often recently, my frames will go from their normal values (high 60s to low 70s on most games) to around 7fps for a good 10 seconds. It also causes my discord to lag to the point of no communication. I noticed my GPU percentage dropping to 0% during this time and I can’t seem to find the issue.

Perhaps it's throttling?
Did you check temperatures when this happens?

Perhaps it's throttling?

I was thinking that as well, but my GPU temps never get over 60°C and my CPU stays right around 70°C
