Bonjour, voici le contexte :
Cutting Costs
This old chestnut pops up every year, but unfortunately, it will never go away.
Each year you may get the same or a slightly decreased budget, yet, you are expected to do more with that so that both the business’ current and future needs are met.

refrain / rengaine
Selon le dictionnaire Merriam-Webster, « chestnut » signifie entre autres:
« 6a: an old joke or story
b: something (such as a musical piece or a saying) repeated to the point of staleness »
et selon le dictionnaire Oxford:
« an old chestnut
A joke, story, or subject that has become tedious and uninteresting through constant repetition. »
« Cette vieille rengaine » ou « Ce vieux refrain » me semblent un bon équivalent dans ce context.
