macOS 11.6 BigSur causes heavy traffic for Calendar/Contacts sync

Hi all,

I encounter heavy traffic load on my server, issued by CalDAV/CardDAV sync from one specific Mac.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Client macOS 11.6.1 BigSur
  2. macOS Addressbook and Calendar Apps connected via CalDAV/CardDAV with owncloud for syncing

Expected behaviour

Sync should run smoothly without causing heavy server loads

Actual behaviour

about 200 MB of traffic daily just for Card-/CalDAV syncs which exceeds serverlimits
