Since this was apparently intended for the list, I'm copying it with my
reply to the list.

Held subscription requests are not held messages. max_days_to_hold,
"delete all messages marked defer" and bin/discard all apply only to
messages, not to subscription requests.

You need to individually mark each request "discard" in the admindb
interface and "Submit All Data". There is no bulk removal method or
tool for subscription requests. You need to do this often enough to
prevent the number of outstanding requests from growing so large that
the admindb interface times out before loading the page.
