This was suggested in pull request #1226. Ideally we would make the limit flexible, e.g. see how much we can generate in 1-2 seconds, but that is a non-trivial change, so the fixed limit will do for now, and while truncated data is suboptimal, it’s better than being killed due to QL manager’s timeout.
