Memory leak when used with VSCode Remote SSH

[Vignesh T.V.]

Hi. I develop on a remote VM using VSCode remote SSH and noticed my VM memory getting filled up frequently leading me to rebooting my VM.

When I was debugging the cause, I noticed this:

See process with PID 6850 which runs this command:

/home/vignesh_burdenoff_com/.vscode-server/bin/441438abd1ac652551dbe4d408dfcec8a499b8bf/node --max-old-space-size=3072 /home/vignesh_burdenoff_com/.vscode-server/bin/441438abd1ac652551dbe4d408dfcec8a499b8bf/extensions/node_modules/typescript/lib/tsserver.js --useInferredProjectPerProjectRoot --enableTelemetry --cancellationPipeName /tmp/vscode-typescript1944908530/bfd28f73d4ab8820f1f5/tscancellation-728e2d56e6b29221a88c.tmp* --globalPlugins ts-lit-plugin --pluginProbeLocations /home/vignesh_burdenoff_com/.vscode-server/extensions/runem.lit-plugin-1.2.4 --locale en --noGetErrOnBackgroundUpdate --validateDefaultNpmLocation --useNodeIpc

That is when I noticed that this is happening because of this lit plugin with memory spiking from 0.35GB to 2GB at its peak for the same project.

I have disabled the extension for now, but had to report it here for your reference.

This is my remote VM:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling afresh again. Still have the same issue

I've noticed this happening on my own system, no VM or remote SSH. The longer I have a project open the higher and higher this gets until I reload VSCode. I work on 2 large projects that are completely Lit based and this extension easily eats up 3-4 GB of memory throughout a day or two of work
