Hi,

I'm getting from Qt Sanity Bot for https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/266791

The following reply every 5 minutes:

**** Worker 'sanity' produced an unreasonable amount of output. You should ask the bot maintainers for advice.

The current behavior is a bit loopy, can we do something about it?

Cheers,
Cristian.
