Seems to be the same for me here. Nextcloud Desktop 3.13.0, Linux AppImage, Ubuntu 22.04
Process(es) is running a lot of the time at 100%, Laptop is getting loud and battery is draining fast!

Was never the case in Versions 3.12.x and older.

[weinbrenner]

$ ls -l .config/Nextcloud/logs/ | wc -l
12183

less than a minute later:

$ ls -l .config/Nextcloud/logs/ | wc -l
12198

each logfile is round about 2MB and all the 12 thousend files are from within 2 days ....

I'm also on Ubuntu 22.04.4 but I don't use the AppImage; I use the app provided through ppa:nextcloud-devs/client repository.
As for the server, the most recent version is 27.1.5 (I have multiple accounts added in the desktop client).
I updated earlier to 3.13.0 and it seems I'm not affected by this issue.
Therefore, as an alternative workaround you can try to install the app through the mentioned PPA.

Good idea, thanks - but it didn't help, behavior is still the same. My server version is 27.1.8.
Maybe it depends on how many files you are syncing - in my case the total is around 50GB. (But almost all files should already be in sync, probably only a few files which I worked on since upgrading to 3.13.0

I'm syncing a few text files to keep my notes app in sync with the NC server.

I have the same issue on Windows 11 with 3.13.0 and NC 29.0.1:

Nextcloud.Issue.mp4

After two hours now I have 2.729 items with a size of 676 MiB.

The logs are primarly just sync progress, I cannot find any error or warnings at all.

I've just tested 3.13.1 and this problem is still present.

[weinbrenner]

I've just tested 3.13.2 and this problem is still present.

Here I have this running forever:

[muchachagrande]

I've tested 3.14.0 and this problem is present.
The sync process is constantly triggering once per second.

I've tested 3.14.1 and is also affected by this problem.
Checking for changes every second.

Problem still present in 3.14.3

I'm having the same issue with Appimage on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon.

The sync process is triggering about every 3 seconds and the disk gets flooded with logfiles.

Problem still present in 3.15.0

[muchachagrande]

I've tested a fresh install on Ubuntu 24.04 and the problem didn't happen there.
I've installed the flatpak version 3.15.0.
