Upgrade StorageZotero consumes significantly RAM on MacOS
Hi all,
I use a Macbook Air M2 (2022) with 8GB RAM. Recently, I noticed that Zotero consumed an unexpectedly high amount of resources (11GB). All the journal articles are opened directly with Zotero and I only use 3 plug-ins to support my research tasks.
As this results in continuous lagging situations, I had to restart the software every time. It has now become extremely annoying for my research tasks, especially when I am in a middle of the tasks.
Is this issue common among all users OR only happens with MacOS users? Please advise if there is a way to fix this? Thanks everyone!

dstillmanRestart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins. If that fixes it, you'll need to identify the plugin that's causing it and then report the problem to the plugin's developer.
