My journal is littered with instances of

 rtkit-daemon[1407]: Supervising 8 threads of 5 processes of 1 users1

I see this excellent post from @MC68020

Stop rtkit-daemon from spamming logs with "Supervising X threads of Y processes of Z users"

In which there is mention of a rtkit-daemon.service.d directory into which I can put a log.conf to set the logging priority of that service.

I dont' see that directory in my Linux 6.2.11-arch1-1

    That directory won't exist until you create it. Search for "drop-in" in the systemd.unit man page.

From @larks comment to this post and from the @MC68020 answer in Stop rtkit-daemon from spamming logs with "Supervising X threads of Y processes of Z users"

If /usr/lib/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d does not exist, create it.

In that directory create a *.conf file, eg log.conf with the following content

 [Service]
 LogLevelMax=3

Where '3' is my choice from the following list

0 or emergency, (highest priority messages)
1 or alert,
2 or critical,
3 or error,
4 or warning,
5 or notice,
6 or info
7 or debuginfo (lowest priority messages)

Note that the default value for unspecified logging priority is 7 which will result in, for most users, an overly-informative service.
