    Does someone have an idea how this can happen? I'm just using a few Debug.Log and this only happens in one scene. The GC Alloc increases with every log - there is no increasing logs visible in the editor console tho.

    Would appreciate any hint! Thank you

    In the Editor you can enable Deep Profiler to see intermediate C# methods which cause LogStringToConsole call and the method which is invoked through Application.LogCallback - that is a public API and pretty much any plugin can hook into the log.

    Thank you! Found the culprit - I had an old script attached not releasing accumulated logs:

    Application.logMessageReceived += HandleLog;
