    Is it normal for the Unity editor to take 20-30% CPU time when it is minimized and not doing anything?. This is Unity 2018.3

    It is normal for it to use some CPU. The percentage entirely depends on the performance of your CPU of course.

    Well it is a six core I7 overclocked to 4.5Ghz so not sure what Unity is doing that requires 30% of that even when it is minimized.

    20% - 30% could mean sorting is keeping you editor busy.
    You can use the profile to profile what is is using the resources of the editor.
