Massive size of cache folder

[Lakjin]

Is it normal for `apps/common/runtime/cache` to be 50GB+? How do I stop it from being this large?

It depends on how busy your system is.
Try: https://www.mailwizz.com/kb/clear-cache-command/ when you're not sending campagns.

That's quite excessive. I don't think my system is that busy. Less than 1m emails a day. I will try clearing the cache, but if this continues, is there any way to disable the cache?

So in the hour that I ran the clear cache command, ~2GB of cache came back after clearing. We don't even have any active campaigns running right now. Only webhooks from our email service provider. Surely this cannot be expected behavior?

I don't see this as a problem, there is a price to pay for performance in multithreaded environments, and in this case, this is one of these things.
You can switch to redis caching, allow it to store like X GB then use an eviction policy to remove old data, this way you'll always have at most x GB of data in cache.

I just setup a cron to clear cache every hour. I am all for performance, but the cache MailWizz uses seems excessive.
