Description
__Description:__
I tried to configure an edge device to sync a bucket towards a server bucket. For this purpose I followed the documentation [here](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/write-data/replication/replicate-data/).
**The main question that I would like to get answered is if this behaviour was already reported somewhere and I oversaw the solution? And to what extend the "data replication" feature really works or still is experimental?**
__Steps to reproduce:__
1. Setting up remote connection on edge device
2. Setting up replication of bucket on edge device towards bucket on server
3. Fill bucket on edge device with local sensor data in a 1Hz frequency
__Expected behavior:__
The bucket on the server shall show the same data as the bucket of the edge device over time.
__Actual behavior:__
- The data gets syncronized from the edge bucket to the server bucket only once when the server bucket is empty. Only a few data points. The data types are constanly the same.
- Then it can be seen that the "Current Queue Bytes" are growing until max configured queue value.
- The growing data in the bucket on the edge device then never gets synchronized with the server bucket again.
- The influxd logs of the server as well as of th edge device did not contain any message indicating a problem in that direction
__Environment info:__
* Influxd on Server
* InfluxDB v2.6.1 (git: 9dcf880fe0) build_date: 2022-12-29T15:53:07Z
* Influxd on Edge
* InfluxDB v2.6.1 (git: 9dcf880fe0) build_date: 2022-12-29T15:53:07Z
* Edge device has good and stable connectivity to the server
