Client info
1 at 2022,the amount of members is up 6000, slowly, the number is began reduce, at now ,the amount of members only near 1000
[root@pub-consul-05 tools]# ./consul members --http-addr 10.240.99.6:8500|wc -l
1074
2 at in the process of reducing, we use consul leave to get off the cluster
3 it can see many leave message ,but the leave action happden 2022,the node is not in cluster now

Research direction
The payload names no source files or tests. Start by reproducing the Consul 1.13.6 behavior with `consul info`, focusing on the Serf LAN `intent_queue` and the reported warning, then compare it with the stale member and leave-message details. Done means the queue behavior and warning cause are reproducibly understood and the issue's expected handling is verified.
