Possible answer here:

https://serverfault.com/questions/1045949/how-to-disable-suspend-on-ubuntu-20-04-systemd-via-cli

This seems to point to my settings for what happens when the lid is
closed. I started doing that recently when I don't need to use the
laptop, and it appears to have bad consequences.

In summary:

In /etc/systemd/logind.conf add the following lines at the bottom:

HandleSuspendKey=ignore
HandleHibernateKey=ignore
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

and run

systemctl restart systemd-logind

to activate the new settings.

That stopped the log overload instantly. I'll double check tomorrow,
but I'm much happier now that the weirdness appears to be over.

Regards,

Mark
