Good day.

I ran into the following error using InfluxDB `v2.0.6` on Linux 64 bit:

After about 3 hours of load (read & write), I get errors on client side:

- unexpected error writing points to database: timeout

Then, after a short while, I get errors:

- Bad request: queue length exceeded

As a result, InfluxDB instance becomes unusable until I restart it.

Per advice from InfluxDB member, I set log level=debug and repeated my test. InfluxDB got stuck again. As far as I can see, there is no DIRECT indication of the error in the log file.

What I noticed in the log file was, that this particular message: `msg=Deleted log_id=...` stops appearing around the same time when I start getting `timeout` errors on client side. From the looks of it, queue processing somehow gets stuck in InfluxDB, resulting first in `timeout` erros and then `queue length exceeded` errors shortly after.

Can someone please try to help?

I can provide the log file from InfluxDB with level=debug though the file pretty large: it occupies 155 MB of space because I run my load test for 3 hours before the error starts appearing.

One more thing I noticed is that there is a recent message on the forum from 12d ago mentioning a similar error: `timeout` appearing under load. [Influxdb v2.0 error](https://community.influxdata.com/t/influxdb-v2-0-error/23352) This makes me wonder if the problem is widespread and not isolated to just my particular use case?

Thanks
