Steps to reproduce
  1. Install Kubuntu + Docker Engine + Nextcloud AIO
  2. Install and connect Nextcloud app on iOS
  3. Start auto upload the whole photo library
Expected behaviour

Phone should not overheat - versions 6.x.x.x worked like a charm - nothing like that. 7.x.x.x brought this.

Actual behaviour

Phone overheats - especially when charging at the same time. If not charging, battery is dead after 2-3 hours while not even half of the library is done (~12000 files and half of them done)

Logs
Nothing special I can see there. Tell me which log at which log levels I could provide
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

It's not good for the battery and was already working properly!?
