High load average, low CPU usage when starting InfluxDB 2.x via docker. No query / write to DB

The error was caused because I was heavily writing data on the side (and forgot about this).
What was interesting is that the python-client persistent in writing data even when re-connecting the DB - i.e. the client retired on failures, which I did not expect as behaviour. I was expecting the python client to fail if the DB is restarted.
