PBS api call flood and cpu usage when idle

I noticed constant cpu usage of PBS server even its idle and no operations are in progress.
When started investigating, I found that access.log logs are flooded by such kind of lines:

Code:
GET /api2/json/admin/datastore
GET /api2/json/admin/datastore/backup/status

and auth.log is full of
Code:
... successful auth for user ...

with tens of requests per second.

I assume this is the cause, that process
proxmox-backup-api is constantly using almost whole full cpu of multi cpu system resulting in increased system load and power bill.

Seems by caller IP that every node of Proxmox cluster does a call every second.

I wonder, is there any options to reduce number of calls/frequency so at idle there is no need to stress the backup system?
