I think my macOS works in some debug mode, but I'm not sure, because when I open Console, I see a lot of log entries every second, despite not doing much. If I enabled that mode, I don't remember how it was enabled. There are some entries regarding memory allocation, and some other.
Before I didn't see so much logs, unless it's a Sierra thing.
I don't have any extras in boot-args
section when running: nvram -p
.
Here is the example:
How do I lower the verbosity of my logs? Or such thing is expected?
I'm aware that I can filter the logs by choosing Errors and Faults, but this is not what I'm looking for.

No, reducing verboseness of the macOS logs is not a standard option.
While there may be a Terminal command/flag or a mod GUI app that lets you change the error levels recorded, I'd advise against doing so because if and when you need support/help, the console logs will be one of the places a tech person would review, and if they're truncated then there's less clues for the person investigating an issue.
