Do you have a problem with your SSD getting maxed out by a bloated TEMP directory (%temp%) ? In Revit, you might have an issue with revittemp_ files, particularly if you are using massive federated models with lots of Revit links…
Maybe this is an ‘edge case’, but I’ve tweeted about this issue a couple of times:

After restart, you should see files showing up in the new TEMP directory:
And when you open Revit file with links, you may see the revittemp_ files starting to appear:
