Restic backup showing unusually verbose stdout

Recently, possibly since my last restic self-update (0.15.1 to 0.15.2 I think), when I run backups to my B2 repo or to my external SSD the stdout is very verbose. The backup proceeds as normal, but I do not understand why I am getting multi-line incremental progress like this:

I have not changed any of my restic options, i.e., no change in verbose option. Any idea why this is happening?

I have attached screenshot showing longer example.

That’s unfortunately a bug in how filenames are truncated, will be fixed by Fix status output truncation by MichaelEischer · Pull Request #4318 · restic/restic · GitHub .
