Laurence on "[Plugin: Clef Two-Factor Authentication] clef_wp_session_garbage_collection mysql crash"

Sites were down this moing on a 30GB VPS running a small handful of wp sites that all use clef. I found 23GB!!! of log files out of control /var/logs/mysql and had to find a way to start mysql so I could purge them properly. I did this my moving the log files to another server, starting the mysql service, then moving the files back to purge them via mysql cmd, then ran reset master.

Once I did this I discovered within seconds the new log file grew to 50mb, then 60mb...and so forth. I purged again and captured a 13mb chunk. Every single line (among thousands) are serialized with 'clef_wp_session_garbage_collection' so something is causing this to crazy eventually eating up all my drive space and crashing mysql.

I have a 3 day cycle on logs but it grows too fast, this safeguard doesn't help. Any ideas what would cause this?
