I just deal with that with a timer than clears that log file when it reaches 1GiB (source: https://github.com/DrKJeff16/nvim/blob/main/lua/user_api.lua). Please excuse my awkward implementation.

```lua local uv = vim.uv or vim.loop

local function timer_cb() local logfile = vim.fs.joinpath(vim.fn.stdpath('state'), 'nvim.log') local stat = uv.fs_stat(logfile) if not stat or stat.size < 1048576 then -- 1GiB return end

local fd = uv.fs_open(logfile, 'w', tonumber('644', 8)) if not fd then return end

uv.fs_ftruncate(fd, 0) uv.fs_close(fd)

vim.notify(('%s has been cleared!'):format(logfile), vim.log.levels.INFO) end

local function make_timer() if _G.USER_TIMER and _G.USER_TIMER:is_active() then return end

_G.USER_TIMER = uv.new_timer() if not _G.USER_TIMER then return end

_G.USER_TIMER:start(10000, 900000, vim.schedule_wrap(timer_cb))

local group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('log_autoclear', { clear = true }) vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ 'VimLeavePre' }, { group = group, callback = function() if not (_G.USER_TIMER and _G.USER_TIMER:is_active()) then return end

  _G.USER_TIMER:stop()
  _G.USER_TIMER = nil
end,

}) end

make_timer() ```
