Hey there,
I see that you are using the latest version of the scanner, namely v8.0.1.
In that version, we introduced multi-language support, which by default analyzes a lot more files.
We are working on a solution on the next patch version, but until then, you can specify /d:sonar.scanner.scanAll=false
on the begin
step to make your analysis not exceed the LOCs once again.
Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
