The internal event counter of status_num_open_events (and others) was not correctly decreased for

  • events with timeouts, e.g. an event with a lifetime
  • events which expect something in a given interval

Since this event count never decreased, the limits specified in the global settings rule Limit amount of current events, were reached when the event console ran for a certain amount of time. A restart always fixed this problem, because these counts are calculated from scratch during startup.
