This issue is still present. I just did a fresh 20.04.4 installation and tracker still used high CPU at system startup until I disabled it.

I rerun tracker-preferences to make sure that indexing would not proceed if less than 20% of free space is available, but it seems that tracker-store ignores it. After I noticed that I had left only 44Kb free on the home partition, I deleted the cache from another program and I noticed that tracker-store filled up again the disk space that I freed few minutes before.
