Responding to [Mojang] Mega_Spud, Issue is still valid and presently occurring.
I also have more information. I launched the game to see if anything changed, and I looked at the GPU core clock this time which I did not do before. The clock was around 600Mhz. Very low for my overclocked 3060 which usually boosts up to 2070Mhz . No other games that I'm currently playing exhibit this behavior either (Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Doom Eternal, Titanfall 2, Rocket League, Elden Ring, and Grounded), they are all boosting to 2070Mhz as normal. In Minecraft, the memory clock is also not maxing out. The memory clock in MC is about 5000MHz, whearas other games are pinned to the max of 7776MHz. This is just a feeling, but I think the problem may be a driver issue on nVidia's side.
