data being sent by kdeconnectd, unprompted

SUMMARY
since a few months ago it'll rarely happen that kdeconnectd will start uploading data, apparently to my phone, this is without any files being shared and even after at least half an hour it won't stop until I kill the process, the issue happens seemingly at random and not often, so starting the process again doesn't have the issue appear.

EXPECTED RESULT
No sending huge amount of information to the phone

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The next time it happens I'll try to see if wireshark gives anything useful about what's being sent

It happened again, I used wireshark for a few seconds but even that created a file way too big to upload, so I had to cut it down a lot.

Unless I messed something up, the file should only be communication from computer to phone.
