The new Overwhelming Presence could use some tweaking

I've been trying to use Overwhelming Presence in some of my matches and I'm finding that the 25 second cooldown prevents the perk from inflicting exhaustion entirely rather than just the aura reading as I thought it would be. This means even just the aura reading alone being proc'd from any instance of nearby exhaustion shuts off its ability to exhaust anyone using an item nearby.

This makes it rather weak as an exhaustion perk itself especially compared to Mindbreaker which works indefinitely on gen repair actions to everyone or Languid Touch which works off any nearby crows and had to be buffed to a 5 second cooldown for 10 seconds of exhaustion even.

I believe that having the 4 second aura reading on a 25 second cooldown is fine, but its ability to exhaust itself should not be. Any instance of exhaustion being had near you should not temporarily deactivate its ability to exhaust. If a survivor uses an item within 32 meters of you, then they should be getting exhausted for the 15 seconds.
