Assume that you have a database that has change tracking enabled in Microsoft SQL Server 2014, 2016 or 2017. When there are issues that cause delay in syscommittab cleanup, lots of rows in syscommittab may not be reserved. When the issues are fixed, and you try to clean up these records in your transaction, it may take a long time. In addition, the cleanup frequently causes a lock escalation and the table lock will block the syscommittab flush during the checkpoint.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
