I ran this sql
SELECT bucket_current_size, bucket_peak_size, RTRIM(job_number) concat '/'
concat
RTRIM(job_user_name) concat '/' concat RTRIM(job_name) AS q_job_name,
s.*
FROM QSYS2.SYSTMPSTG s
ORDER BY bucket_current_size DESC;

The biggest thing was 200GB of temporary space tied up by a non-job:
"*DATABASE Segment Cache"

What is that?
