I will try disabling Dropbox sync today.
Regarding the automation tasks, they aren’t ones that run constantly so I’d be surprised if they’re behind this:
- I have ones in Shortcuts and Keyboard Maestro that take text input and either file to a predefined folder, or append to my daily work note or personal note, but these require triggering by me (i.e., they don’t run in the background).
- I have two that, at 11:50 PM each night, take my personal and work daily notes, duplicate them, rename the duplicates with the current date, and move the renamed duplicates to a “daily notes” folder. (This lets my daily note always have the same ID/link, making for easier automation).
But if disabling Dropbox sync doesn’t fix it, I’ll try disabling all other automations.
Thank you for the reply.
