IntelliJ using way too many memory.
Answered
Hello, recently I've noticed that IntelliJ uses way too much memory which also leads to crashes & freezes.
Any idea what could be causing it?

I failed to gather .hprof as for some reason my IntelliJ doesn't crate it.
But here's logs.

I guess it has something to do with Codota ;/
Does it help if you disable Codota plugin?

After I disabled Codota Plugin it became smoother !
Also did the trick for me, the IJ process went down by about a third! (and the total utilization went down even more)...
Too bad, Codota is dope for Java projects but that's just too much.
Ah, whatever, I do almost everything in Kotlin anyways, plus IDEA's autocomplete is a straight A+
Thanks all, those plugins consuming a lot of memory on my old little Mac, disbaling helped reduce memory usage.
