Summary

A history limit setting that we can change through the settings. The settings goal is to limit how many messages can be in message history of realtime responses like WebSocket. For example, if we set history limit to 1000, Hoppscotch will only keep the last 1000 message in history. More older messages will be removed.

Why should this be worked on?

In things like WebSocket, we may get tens/hundreds of messages per second, Hoppscotch creates a new element on the browser page for each of them and they all consume memory. Since Hoppscotch is not deleting previous messages, it may end up with browser tab becoming unresponsive and huge memory consume.
