Sorry if it wasn’t clear, I mean how many files are in the folders you have open in the side-bar?

I just want to chime in and report the same issue. I had to move from Linux to Mac (intel based) due to work and Sublime Text starts out fine, then gradually consumes more and more RAM. It will use 2.5GB in about an hour and after a full day reach 19GB. (including swap)

I use LSP and Elixir LSP. Please don’t ask me to test in safe mode, because then I don’t really see any reason to use Sublime Text at all anymore.

If you’re using Monterey there’s known memory leaks outside of our control, see https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4960 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1735345

I’m still on Big Sur. Can it be related?

In that case I’d check which exact process is using the memory, if it’s not the main sublime_text process then the leak is certainly caused by a plugin.

How pervasive is this issue? I’d been holding out on updating to ST4 and wondering if I should continue waiting as I’m on an M1 MBP with Monterey 12.1.
