Hi @Eagleames ,
Thanks a lot for reporting this bug.
We're working on a fix for it.

Do you perhaps have some ideas under which circumstances this occurs?
E.g. does it happen for all of your projects or only for some of them?
Do you have some large files open when Sourcery's memory consumption increases so much?

We'll let you know when we have a fix for this.

Cheers,
Reka

Howdy!
So, i don't really know what happened.
I can say that at the start of realizing it, i had maybe 6 different projects open.

But then I just told VSCode to close everything and all windows but two closed.

The weirdest thing is that it maintained high memory through the closing of one more window, and then with only a tiny project where i was just learning to use mechanicalsoup it didn't go away.
When I closed that instance then sourcery closed itself.

Frankly i don't think that was the cause (but rather that other larger projects somehow got it in a loop or something...

But no way to know.
Only saw it once, but if i catch it again I will repost.

It used 6.6Gb memory when I test some simple and short python scripts :(

Hey @Eagleames and @WXZhao7 - thanks for providing some context on this. We made a couple of tweaks in Sourcery 0.11.5 (released 2022-05-18) to reduce the memory footprint. I was wondering if you've noticed any improvement?

[WXZhao7]

@bm424 Yeah, it only cost around 500mb now. Thanks for your support :)

That's great, glad to hear it's working better for you. I'm going to close this issue for now, but feel free to get in touch again.
