Bug Description Since v2.1.118, Claude ram usage is growing. I just started a session 30 seconds ago, didn't do anything and it is already using 10GB or ram. For a reason, it only happens in one project. How can I diagnose what is wrong with this one and not the others ?

Environment Info

  • Platform: linux
  • Terminal: kgx
  • Version: 2.1.121
  • Feedback ID: 41d5079c-e068-4757-b35d-3033cb1126d3

TL;DR

Investigate project-specific configurations and usage patterns to identify the cause of excessive memory usage in the Claude session.

Guidance

  • Compare the project configurations and settings between the affected project and others to identify potential differences that could be contributing to the memory issue.
  • Check for any unique or resource-intensive operations, such as large data imports or complex computations, that may be running in the background of the affected project.
  • Monitor system resources and Claude's memory usage over time to see if there are any patterns or spikes that could indicate the root cause.
  • Consider running the project in a minimal or debug mode to isolate the issue and identify potential culprits.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the project or Claude's implementation.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the project's configuration, data, or usage patterns, and more information would be needed to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and compare project configurations to identify potential causes, as the issue seems to be project-specific and not a general bug in the Claude version.
