That message is provided by your OpenGL implementation, not apitrace
itself.  You'll need to lookup the GPU IHV documentation.

Not yet -- https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/issues/395 -- but note that
every message causes the UI to load all calls of the frame where it lives,
so too many messages can easily eat up all your system's memory for large
traces.

Note that you'll still get _different_ messages  -- messages with other IDs
will still be displayed.  That is, the message limit is per message ID.

This was on Windows right?  Memory usage is not implemented on Windows.  I
should greyed it our or implement it.

It depends.  apitrace's glretrace program consumes memory for its own
internal purposes -- not all memory of that process is used by the OpenGL
driver.  It's also possible your app is leaking GL resources too.
