Cisco ASA logging buffered spams terminal and console lines

cisco-asasyslog

I have several routers, switches and firewalls that send logs to a syslog server without interfering with the console line.

I'm testing an ASA 5506 (running IOS 9.5.2) at a remote location that doesn't have a syslog server so I'm trying to use 'logging buffered' to troubleshoot a VPN issue and when I run the following

no logging console
logging buffered debug
debug crypto isa 127

debug messages start spamming the console line and I need to reboot the ASA to make any changes on it. (terminal no monitor gives me a Monitor option not supported for the console

I thought the 'logging buffered' command was only supposed to log to the internal buffer? Then I could go in an view them later. What's going on here?

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Adding logging console errors or logging console emergencies did not help.

EDIT: sh run | inc log gives me this output

logging console emergencies
logging buffered debugging
logging asdm informational

I remember running into a similar issue. One of my settings was turning the console logging back on. I never did determine what did it, but if my memory serves I got around it by only logging errors to the console using logging console errors to stop the debug messages.
