IntelliJ ram consumption on macbook with m1 chip?

Question

IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ consumes more and more RAM on macbook m1. I don’t turn off the Mac, the idea is always open, and the RAM consumption increases, it reaches 5GB. after the restart, the ide became 1.5, but also grows with time. Is it normal? 16GB of RAM if that.

Answer 1

I have the same thing on Windows, I have to reboot at least once a week.

Answer 2

There, it seems, in the ide settings, you can specify the maximum amount of consumed RAM. Set it to 1.5 GB and it won't go up that much
