Loop in db search?

Hi! Using version 12.6 and WP 5.1.1.
One of my users on a site I maintain used a statistics search (I do not know exactly which option) that resulted in the site not being available for minutes.
The log showed repetitive messages (thousands):

[24-Mar-2019 16:57:15 UTC] WordPress database error User ‘xxxx’ has exceeded the ‘max_questions’ resource (current value: 300000) for query SELECT SUM(count) FROM wp_statistics_pages WHERE URI = ‘/contact/’ AND date = ‘2018-06-24’ made by do_action(‘statistics_page_wps_pages_page’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, WP_Statistics_Admin_Pages::log, include(‘/plugins/wp-statistics/includes/log/top-pages.php’), wp_statistics_pages

I can understand the exceeding messsage in itself but not that this plug-in goes on and on and on and on……..

Can you please look into this? Throwing one message is enough it seems to me and then break of the action.
