I believe this is the solution until they fix the service:
Go to to System Settings > Privacy and toggle off Purge Trash and
Temporary Files.

@snabb (Janne) #7 or @ljh48332 (Luke) just detected this again in latest
release and will present a workaround that solves it even with
continuous Ubuntu/Debian/Gnome updates. Could you give some insight into
why this service is kept and not removed completely? Even the Gnome
threads state it
This bug came back again in latest ubuntu, this time a new symptom
occurred. Gnome extensions are also regularly disabled for some reason.
Removing gsd-housekeepin still works.

This bug came back in recent updated after using workaround #5 by Janne.
Didn't notice at first, then severe system slowdowns and odd power
behaviour started to occur. 100% Fan on etc. Killing my disk long term
as well. I detected it when the gsd-housekeepin service crashed and
Ubuntu notified
I'm not sure if this is related or if this helps troubleshoot, but my
system will randomly go unresponsive and needs to be hard rebooted. May
or may not be related to this bug.

I just tried to report this bug for Bionic, it informed me the package
was not installed when i used fn+alt f2 ubuntu-bug gsd-housekeepin.
I have changed the computer name in the output but had a privlige issue

Going for #5 by Janne since nothing else works (annoying task to keep
performing). It is also the suggestion by Fedora maintainers as systemd
does the same task of cleaning tmp
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563445)
Upstream
In 15 hours 6000 new messages occur.

Nope, the message persists even with fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

weeks):

I'm fairly sure this is related to changes in fs.inotify.max_user_watches ("Too
many open files"). I recently got a bunch of warnings in misc code editors
about low values. Took me a while to understand the max_user_watches had
reverted back to the default value of about 8000. I.e., some update
I think this bug i filed might be a duplicate of this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-
daemon/+bug/1795111
In my case i could detect that the desktop became unresponsive as well.

Temporary workaround:
1) sudo mv /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-housekeeping
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-housekeeping.off
2) logout and login
This needs to be redone when "gnome-settings-daemon" package is updated.
I do not know if it is doing something useful for some people.
With gsd 3.28.0-0ubuntu1 on bionic, the errors are like:
