Hi,

I’m wondering how do you deal with long conversations in Rasa, that take more than 1 hour?

I notice that `InMemoryTrackerStore` is storing all the events in the memory which slows down the performance very quickly. Setting `max_history` for `AugmentedMemoizationPolicy` and `TEDPolicy` doesn’t change much, since regardless of that all the conversation history is being stored in `InMemoryTrackerStore` anyway.

Did someone find a way to refresh `InMemoryTrackerStore` every now and then to keep the conversation history stored in memory shorter?
