You could control the size of WAL file by setting sqlite PRAGMA Options. NSDictionary * options = @{ 				NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption:@YES, 				NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption:@YES, 				NSSQLitePragmasOption:@{ @"journal_mode" : @"WAL", @"journal_size_limit" : @"20000" } };

The issue can be still reproduced on Monterey 12.2. Apple has not respond to my bug report. Apples Motto: Move fast and break things, they got the money, you the bill.

The issue can be still reproduced on macOS Monterey 12.2.1.

If possible don't upgrade to MacOS Monterey until Apple fixed bluetooth core. I'll downgrade (re-install) to the previous MacOS.
