I have a MB Pro with 32 GB RAM. Since I updated to Tahoe, i've had several instances of crashing due to memory leaks. Today, I had a 60k word pages document open with no images, and the mac started locking up. A quick check of activity monitor and Pages is using near 120GB of memory.
Seems a bit nuts, but I'm sure I've had memory leaks happen with other apps as well.
Any ideas on how I can find a cause/solution?
Cheers

Apple apps seem to choke on larger requests - but if you want to keep it’s one document, try turning off "Learn from this Application"

System Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri > About Siri, Dictation, and Privacy > Pages and toggle it off

This is the setting that helped me be able to print from Messages on macOS

Oh, that is interesting. I’ll have a bit of a play with the setting, thanks.
