Can you try if installing https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/tracker3-miners/3.0.0/2.fc33/x86_64/tracker3-miners-3.0.0-2.fc33.x86_64.rpm helps? It has upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker-miners/-/merge_requests/265 backported that is supposed to fix this issue.
I have both and I'm not seeing the problem. In fact, I'm not seeing tracker-extract in the journal; and nothing tracker related reported by 'ps -aux' tracker3-miners-3.0.0-1.fc33.x86_64 tracker-miners-2.3.5-1.fc33.x86_64 Heðin do you have both of these versions installed? It's only brought in recently so just 'dnf update' and you should get it.

No, this is incorrect. tracker3-miners-3.0.0-2.fc33 (note the -2) is the version that has a possible fix to the issue and it's _not_ available from the repos yet. If possible, please install it directly from the link above and see if it helps.
dnf history info tracker3-miners show that prior to installing 3.0.0-2, I had 2.99.5-1 installed, alongside the tracker-miners-2* package

Now, after 8 hours uptime, the journal is only 4519 lines. so it seems the issue is resolved.
Excellent, thanks for testing! (The update is now in the repos as well.)
