hmm posting here reminded me that yeah - td-agent-bit has been a problem in the past too [CPU usage grows until next reboot - caused by td-agent-bit](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/cpu-usage-grows-until-next-reboot-caused-by-td-agent-bit/49132)

While suspicious, this may not be the actual root cause.

I see 2 things happening in my logs during this time period

- man-db regeneration
- log file rotation

the log file rotation causes td-agent-bit (the logging agent) to find new files to rotate etc.

You can see the free disk space graph here
