Black Live viewer, low gpu usage in picture viewer

Hi all!
So recetnly I bought and rtx 3090 and upgraded my Octane License so I can use it.
Now I have two weird things happening to me.

First: When I hit the "Send your scene and render" button in the live viewer, the live viewer stays black and instead it renders within my viewport. (see attachment)

Second: PMC is not using my GPU fully. The usage fluctuates between 15-70% while when using normal path tracing it uses constant 99%. Is that supposed to be?

Any help is much appreciated! :)

You are using octane in viewport rendering mode. Are you aware of it?

I am not. How do I change that?
Sorry I haven't used Octane in a while...
