Applications using an absurd amount of RAM is the normal for me. Am I doing something wrong?
My MacBook Pro M3 Pro only has 18GB. I've seen some posts before of people finding one application that's using, usually something like Safari, that's using an enormous amount of memory due to a memory leak. The takeaways are usually to close some tabs/restart safari, or to see if any plugins are causing the issue and uninstalling them. However, it seems that every single one of my applications are using an unreasonable amount of RAM, ALL THE TIME. I must be doing something wrong, this is one of the higher end options of laptops we have to choose from at work. This is just a screenshot of right now, but this "force quit applications" window opens multiple times a day at various points, and sometimes the memory usages are between 1-10 times what it's currently showing. Restarting my computer usually helps, but only temporarily, and it's really disruptive to my work if I have to keep closing everything to restart it every few hours. Hoping I can learn something and resolve this permanently, thank you in advance!
