Massive UI Lag in Blueprint UE5 Editor [UE5.0.1]

I was having this issue as well.

  • Go to Edit > Editor Preferences > Performance, and ensure there’s no FPS limits set there.
  • Additionally I found loading a completely different level seemed to fix this issue. Even if the level I was previously loaded into was less intensive, just the swapping of levels caused the editor to “refresh” and shoot back up to 120 FPS.
    Hope this helps.
