Thousands of Proccesses

#1

This has started happening daily now… my system completely crashes by running out of processes because ST launches thousands.

ps -ef | grep Sublime

There’s 1500 of those currently.

If anyone has any idea as to how I can troubleshoot what’s causing this, would be a huge help

I would start by backing up your data folder and resetting to a fresh state to see if a package is causing this: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/revert.html.
