Leaving my Mac on for 24h :-(. If I don't reboot every couple of days the disk fills up and the computer crashes. Is this just a thing on OS X 15.1?

@gleet Hi Paul, I dropped Mac years ago but when I used it, my disk was regularly getting clogged up by Spotlight's automatic indexing. It's very dumb (in particular it doesn't check for available space before indexing). If you block that and remove the associated files, it might solve your problem.
