I'm encountering run issues when running my os_signpost instrument that spits out the following kind of messages:

"Data stream: 5 log/signpost messages lost due to high rates in live mode recording. Try windowed recording mode."

I am using deferred recording already (enabled from the checkbox in the recording preferences), but I can't find a setting for a "windowed recording mode" anywhere.

Would appreciate a point in the right direction!

Anyone know where this option is in Instruments 15?

Edit: Nevermind, it's there, but is disabled when you are actively paused or recording.
