Documentation

Toggle ERC truncate mode.

With a prefix argument ARG, enable truncate if ARG is positive, and disable it otherwise. If called from Lisp, enable the mode if ARG is omitted or nil. Truncate a query buffer if it gets too large. This prevents the query buffer from getting too large, which can bring any grown Emacs to its knees after a few days worth of tracking heavy-traffic channels.
