Memory leak on latest version?

On version 2024.2 (but may have been an earlier version as well)
Ran into this issue with both a MacBook Air (M3) and now a MacBook Pro (M4), running current Mac OS.
This has been going on for months, and may have been occurring under Sonoma as well.

When it starts up it has a reasonable memory of 200+ MB, but if I leave it open it can end up using over 80 GIGAbytes...

   Are you using MD Sync with iCloud Sync?

   Yes, I am. Is that causing the problem?

   It's buggy (a MacOs issue - not MD) and some people have this issue.. For them, switching to Dropbox Folders resolves their issue...

   This has to be a very new issue, as I have been using MoneyDance for years and never had issues like this before. (Perfectly willing to believe it is on the MacOS side, as there have been a lot of changes in the OS lately, and sometimes those changes fall flat on their faces.)

   
   

   If it makes any difference, I did experience this only after I switched from an Intel Mac to ones with an M chip (March 2024).  That could have been merely coincidence though.

   Two things.
   1. iCloud sync with MD has not been around for years.
   2. The iCloud sync issues started with Sonoma when apple changed how it worked.
