What happened?

I recently found my ~/.xsession-errors.log file around 11GB in size, filled up with lines like:

Deleting this log file fills it up to enormous sizes within just a few days. Troubleshooting a bit with Gemini helped me identify the source as the Graphical hardware monitor's Network monitor. If I just disable the network monitor displays, this log spamming stops. I believe this may be related to the docker containers I'm running on the machine.
