    My site has more than 300 new wut transients in 1.5 days (2 entries in wp_options per transient).

    The plugin that deletes expired transients includes this information:

    Many transients are given an expiration time, so in theory they should disappear after some time. In practise, because old transients are only deleted when requested again after they’ve expired, many transients stay in the database. After a while, there can be thousands or even millions of expired transients needlessly taking up space in your options table, depending on what your plugins are doing.

    Perhaps the issue is the use of unique transient names, so they can never expire…?
