Navi uses threading, to speed up downloads; It pulls 50 asset chunks on 10 threads and since the vulnerabilities per asset fluctuate this can spike the memory above 2G. If this happens increase your memeory to 4G for under 10,000 assets and 8Gb for larger asset counts..
I'm still working on a fix for large accounts, those over 100K assets. For now use the thread option to avoid DB locks by reducing it to 1. Increasing your RAM and running Navi on SSDs will speed help avoid DB locks.
navi update full --threads 1
Versions older than 5.1.36 do not have this feature.

In different terminals it can be a challenge to copy the keys to navi since you can not be sure it copied correctly.
Use the below commands to check your keys
navi find query "select * from keys;"
Alternatively, you could try entering your keys again using the '-clear' command to see what is being copied to the screen.
navi keys -clear
Navi 6.3.0 was recently tested on a container with 250,000 assets and 41 million vulnerabilties.
It took 30 mins for t.io to prepare the download and 30 mins to download and parse the data
into navi.db which ended up being 31GB. Plugin queries took 2secs where looking for text in an output took 2mins.
6.2.3 and later improves query performance by a factor of 10 with the below changes.
- Three indexes where added to reduce vuln query time
- Exports were reduced to 50 from 500 assets to increase download time
- Synchronous was turned off to speed up downloads
- DB cache was increased to 10000 from 2000 default in SQLite
