I confirmed on my side the kded not running is not sufficient to explain the
bug.

The far-fetched hypothesis is inotify not working (it has a limited number of
watches it can handde).
That would happen if you have for instance an IDE without a lot of
files/folders opened, or more generally a lot of applications.
Or a specific that would be buggy.

Or dbus not working properly/not installed.
But without dbus a lot of other things would be degraded like any
notifications.

Given you are using arch they are a thousand ways to shout you in the foot.
How custom is your arch install ? Did you use infamous plasma-meta package by
any chance ? (I am using Arch myself).
Then you are missing something from the plasma group
