OneDrive loads CPU to 30% by writing logs into a folder which is 3,3 Gb big (72862 files in there)

Question

I use OneDrive on Windows 11 Pro (10.0.22631.4460).

I have a Premium Personal account on Microsoft 365, My 1TB storage is 80% full.

One Drive version is 24.216.1027.0003.

My log folder is C:\Users\live\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\logs\ . Number of files there is: 72 862 (so far). Folder side: 3,3 Gb

File names are like:

And OneDrive constantly writes small bites of data there. So it literally logs something every 10 msec or so, making CPU load up by 20-30%, even when all files are in sync. How do I avoid that?

The only thing that helps is to pause synchronization but I can't have it paused all the time!
