The thread pool is limited to 10. While this is configurable via the API, no command line option is exposed to tune it. (This would be a great contribution if you were so inclined!) It seems likely to me that Flask is spawning background threads for some reason; given the way Twisted's threadpool works, leaks like this are not common. However, anything is possible: you probably want to gather some information about what all those threads are doing. Can you add a route to your Flask application to call https://docs.python.org/3/library/faulthandler.html#dumping-the-traceback <https://docs.python.org/3/library/faulthandler.html#dumping-the-traceback> and then save the output somewhere? That will at least give you a hint as to whether Twisted's threadpool is at fault, and if it is, what it is blocked doing. -g
