That looks like you have > 1000 backup archives.

The chunks.archive.d cache is O(archive count * archive size) big, so if
that is getting too big, just reduce the archive count via "borg prune".

If you've never run prune yet, expect the first run to take rather long.

Be careful, use borg prune --dry-run ... first, so you see what is
getting pruned. You also might need --prefix if you have multiple
different data sets backed up into same repo.

See the docs for more info.
