Look like I've reach the file limit of 500mb for a json. How that's possible ? Is there a way to clean it ?

I am also hitting this problem after upgrading from Fedora 37 to 38.

In my case the issue was that /db/[randomstring]/history/fiveMinSnapshot.db in the Flood config directory was about 700 MB in size. Removing that file solved the issue.
