Plex automatically scanning for no reason?

Recently ive been having an issue with plex scanning my library automatically for some reason. I have the options to run scans all disabled as i only run certain scans when i add media to certain libraries. Like adding media to my anime or movies library, i dont run a full scan, i run a scan of those libraries, but plex is just scanning my entire library automatically now. Anyone have this issue or have had it and resolved? Running on Ubuntu server.

Downloaders or other data-receiving applications running which write directly to where the media is monitored?

Is the media, particularly music, named per spec?

We will need to see log files of it actually happening to help.
The more details you can provide to explain the logs will help.

No i dont have any music on my server, mainly TV shows and Movies. and what log files should i provide?

Please make certain DEBUG logging only is enabled (not VERBOSE) in Settings - Server - General - Show Advanced.

Now start a scan.
Let’s see what it does.
After 10 minutes, stop it.
Collect the logs (Settings - Server - Troubleshooting - Download Logs)
Attach the ZIP file.

Ok, i caught it where it was running a scan by itself. stopped on my third library and got the logs here. Plex Media Server Logs_2019-06-12_02-59-11.zip (4.9 MB)
