You can control the maximum size of the logfile automatically via configuration (by default 100 MiB):

nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L792-L801


/**
* Enables log rotation and limits the total size of logfiles. The default is 0,
* or no rotation. Specify a size in bytes, for example 104857600 (100 megabytes
* = 100 * 1024 * 1024 bytes). A new logfile is created with a new name when the
* old logfile reaches your limit. If a rotated log file is already present, it
* will be overwritten.
*
* Defaults to 100 MB
*/
'log_rotate_size' => 100 * 1024 * 1024,
