    Thanks for the feedback @gaborgabor and sorry to hear that your users got over quote-messages. I wrote a short blog post about that problem recenlty. Maybe it is to some help: https://simple-history.com/2015/brute-force-attacks-can-make-log-big-heres-stop/

    I also think that those limits would be good to have. I’ll add it to my todo-list.

    Got the same probleme with a brute force attack (4 gig tables).

    I’ve resolved the security issue, but now I need to clean the tables.

    I’ve tried the CLEAR LOG button on the plugin setting page, but the server Timeout after a while and the tables are still the same.

    Can I manually remove all the entries in those 2 tables ?
    wp_simple_history
    wp_simple_history_contexts

    Should I use PHPMyAdmin ? What is the command ?

    Thanks
