'AWS - RDS - queries under long_query_time treshold getting saved to the slow_logs table

I configured AWS RDS parameter group with the following parameters:

slow_query_log: 1
long_query_time: 3.000

I also tried

long_query_time: 3.000
long_query_time: 5
long_query_time: 5000

but still everytime, I reboot the RDS instance, all queries are continuously logged to the slow_logs table. This is filling up the disk..

Any thoughts on how to make this work?
