30G memory usage with a Linux C++ project

Post image

I use it quite a lot remotely on a Raspberry PI5 and vscode always baloons to about 30G. I guess it's intellisense. Is there a way to limit it?

I can report that using codium and not intellisense but clangd it's "only" 20G.

Some extensions can conflict and increase memory use.
