Kibana DevTools stuck on autocomplete when typing a simple GET

Kibana version: 8.19.4

Tested on different browsers both in normal and private mode

When you have already a lot of queries in dev tools (let’s say 10000 lines) and want to add another by simply typing GET the browser is stuck for more than 1 minute. After that it downloads 3.1MB for some autocomplete. According to the browser network tools: api/console/autocomplete_entities?fields=true&indices=true&templates=true&dataStreams=true

If you type a new GET at the top, you don’t have that issue.

But when you leave the dev tools open, it also refreshes frequently and every cycle (around 1 minute) it downloads again 3.1MB. So, after an hour you downloaded around 200MB for just leaving the tab open in your browser.

What changed in Kibana DevTools to cause this behavior and is this really necessary? DevTools was working just fine in version 8.18.x

Hi @PeterDK

I reached out internally to see if there's a known issue. We'll see what comes back.

Looks like perhaps there is any Open PR for a similar issue.
