Use this at your own risk, but you can pass

--watchdog_level=-1

to the daemon to remove all strings attached. But the normal MO is: 1. A query executes and hits a table that has a long run time or eats a core of the machine for 9s (wall time). 2. The osquery child process is forcefully killed by its watchdog parent. 3. The next child sees it was mid-execution of an intense query and adds that to a "waitlist" and doesn't run it for another 24 hours. It also emits a warning log.
