[INFO] [1761521469.862244266] [rviz]: Message Filter dropping message: frame 'laser' at time 1761521468.848 for reason 'discarding message because the queue is full'
I get a flood of the above messages. I have not been able to find any way (checked all the published ways) to tell rviz to not print messages lower than WARN. Is there a way that is known to work.

Also I don;'t know what to make of that error. I don't know what queue is full and whether and how I should make it longer. Or have fewer tf messages.

My laser and tf topics don't seem too much:

[dome:~] ros2 topic hz /scan
average rate: 9.169
	min: 0.100s max: 0.200s std dev: 0.02879s window: 11

[dome:~] ros2 topic hz /tf
average rate: 10.011
	min: 0.098s max: 0.101s std dev: 0.00060s window: 12

Any hits on where to turn on both questions?

🧇 this may be sim-time- or clock-related. Could you provide a minimal reproducer? Otherwise, it is hard to investigate.

I understand why you say that. Unfortunately it is with a physical robot so it will be hard to do. I mainly was asking in case there was a stock answer like, "yes it always happens" or "check the xxx of the yyy". Sounds like this is not a common thing.
