        the first thing i would try is to reset the log files
        under Status /System Logs /Settings there is a red button

          That is going to be a package, not the standard system logs.

          Either bandwidthd or darkstat or maybe ntopng.

          This will probably show where the usage is:

          du -skh /var/*

          Find which one it is then stop it from consuming your disk space.

          DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

            Are you running Suricata by chance? There was a bug where log files weren't getting rotated.

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                Based on the service status in his screenshot it's neither of those. But it looks like he went dark on us anyway.
