Can we know what you mean by default configuration? Is it default or
documented one? What are your startup parameters?

How many series do you have?
max_over_time(prometheus_tsdb_head_series[1d])

Do you have lots of different disks/devices per machines ? lots of
network interfaces?

I recommend you read

to better understand this.
