This is most likely true, but only if Log To File is checked in the Manage Rainmeter > Settings tab (not sure if the OP has that setting checked):Another issue is dumping that much data into the log file. I do not believe the logging in Rainmeter uses a rolling appender or uses any technique to clear itself periodically. If you are dumping dozens of lines of errors into the log every second (like in this instance), the log is going to grow to sizes so large that Rainmeter will not be able to keep up. My suspicion is that once the file gets to be hundreds of megabytes or gigabytes in size, Rainmeter will not be able to open the log, write the error, and close it in less than the one second update interval, and when that happens it will crash.

If that is not checked, Rainmeter will not write to a log file in the first place, and keep the log in memory. In such a case, apart from Rainmeter possibly using more RAM for longer logs, there shouldn't be any issue regarding physically writing the log to the "disk" drive.
Other than that, I think clearing the log file periodically is compensated by the fact that one can delete the log file at any time from the same tab.
