size of cesm.log file grows to several GBs

I’ve encountered a strange issue where the size of the cesm.log file grows to several GBs.The reason appears to be that the model keeps printing the following message repeatedly in the log file

Here is what I did:
  1. I ran an FWHIST compset and saved the historical fields of U, V, T, Q, PS, TS, and PHIS.
  2. I then ran an FWSD compset using the output from step 1 as the meteorological forcing (met) file.
  3. The initial condition files used in both experiments were identical.
  4. For comparison, I also conducted an FWSD experiment using MERRA2 as the met forcing, and it ran successfully without issues.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated! And here are the log files (I canceled the job)

Here are atm.log and cesm.log files (I have to cut several lines since this forum limits the upload file size)
