The only thing I did to get that drop in usage was to go to Developer Options and restart Home Assistant. I believe that just restarts core, right?

Hard to say. Install the glances addon, open it and press z and m and see what uses the memory.
Indeed. It might be an integration. Or core might interact with an addon in some way until restarted. Above should give some clarity. If it is an integration you can try restarting in safe mode.

Will do!

Here is how it sits right now. Who knew VScode tookup that much memory! I will check back if the mem usage continues to rise.

well there's my answer. Thanks! I will stop it when not using it. I wonder if I can automate it to stop automagically after an hour or something.

#

Just stopping vscode had a huge impact on mem usage. There should be a warning in the Documentation that comes with the add-on until this is resolved.

Ok, I created a virtual boolean switch that turns off and on vscode that I can use in a dashboard as well as an automation that sends a confirmable notification to my phone if vscode is running for 30 min so I can stop it. If anyone needs these just let me know.
