Years ago I had a 2015 MacBook Pro that used to write daily swaps in the terabyte range for about two weeks. Not a single incident but consistently 1-3 tb/day. Performance wasn’t impacted at all and so I only noticed by chance when I looked at the activity screen for other reasons

It persisted through restarts and was only fixed when I reinstalled the system (and all my application software. Setup remained the same so no idea what it could’ve been)

With a few assumptions about the built-in SSD I concluded that I’d be above the most likely applicable TBW within 200 days!
