Describe your question/
I am running Authentik in a Docker container using a Postgres DB, running in a Docker container, as the store. I'm wondering why the django_channels_postgres_message table is over 60 GB, and how I can resolve this?

Relevant info
I don't have many applications or providers, fewer than 10, and I am the only user. I talked to Copliot, and it said the table should be small and ephemeral, which this is definitely not.

Logs
I'm not sure what logs would be relevant here, but I'm happy to provide any if that would help.

Version and Deployment (please complete the following information):

  • authentik version: 2025.10.1
  • Deployment: docker-compose, host Debian 13
