I'd like to find out what is changing on this user every 300s - this doesn't occur on desktop and there's nothing that I can see that should be frequently changed for a user. The debugging is useful, but can be removed if there is a legitimate reason for a user to change this frequently.

Is this necessary? The fact that it is the same message about the same account and that it occurs every 300 seconds make me wonder if we can cull this particular piece of repeated logging.
