So, it may be a coincidence that the log filled up in almost exactly 24hours, or......

I'm marking this "closed".

Very weird! I only started to have all types of logs after upgrading to 2.3.0.32. I was very optimistic that this was fixed in that software and that I would never need to do a factory reset for that. Since the upgrade the logs is functioning flawlessly!

Glad the reset and setup from scratch fixed it. Good to know that it works now.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
