    public function jsonSerialize(): string {

to figure out which string is causing this issue?

[hr1232]

OK. As the issue is not blocking any functionality, I'll do that tonight when users are off work.

Maybe, future versions should create log entries with a bit more useful information instead of all that useless, nerdy verbousness...

[szaimen]

Hi, please update to 24.0.9 or better 25.0.3 and report back if it fixes the issue. Thank you!

My goal is to add a label like e.g. 25-feedback to this ticket of an up-to-date major Nextcloud version where the bug could be reproduced. However this is not going to work without your help. So thanks for all your effort!

If you don't manage to reproduce the issue in time and the issue gets closed but you can reproduce the issue afterwards, feel free to create a new bug report with up-to-date information by following this link: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2C0.+Needs+triage&template=BUG_REPORT.yml&title=%5BBug%5D%3A+

[shalak]

@szaimen I'm on 25.0.3 and I see this issue.

[Bromelioideae]

@szaimen I am on 25.0.3 and I am experiencing this is issue as well. It doesn't seem to affect functionality and I only noticed it when I went to check on my fail2ban jail for nextcloud which depends on nextcloud.log and didn't see any entries but my nextcloud.access log had lots of entries for IPs I don't recognise so I went to check nextcloud.log and it has stopped logging since December 25 last year. I will be glad to provide any further information you require.

Same issue persists on 25.0.5, although functionality seems unaffected I don't like the log spam.

App issue not a server matter: nextcloud/integration_google#133

Sounds like it was fixed in 2.x released in May 2023 (so a few months after the last report in this thread here).

https://github.com/nextcloud/integration_google/issues/133#issuecomment-1573570316

Take further follow-up to that issue/repository. Closing here. Thanks for all your reports.
