SDDM wayland-session.log grows insanely big

Hello all,
From time to time my ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log grows insanely huge and I cannot identify root cause of the issue. Only one thing I could still capture before I deleted the file to restore system normal operation is this:

 :
Error: WaylandMessage::Write() too many files to send
 :
Error: WaylandMessage::Write() too many files to send
 :
Error: WaylandMessage::Write() too many files to send
 :
Error: WaylandMessage::Write() too many files to send

SDDM is running with wayland as a backend. However, I see other applications may spam similar log filez in a similar way but in another place. Is there any logging level I can tune so even if it happens (I mean enormous amount of error logs) I have logs rotation and my disk is not filled with this junk?

This message comes from firefox and needs to be fixed there. See: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=293256
