Bug Report: Chatgpt app / Codex Ram usage

`Steps to Reproduce`

I updated chatgpt app to latest version and now it uses up all my ram, remote is currently unusable for me.

`Expected Result`

I ask chatgpt to do a task, it does start and I can connect remotely

`Actual Result`

When using remote to assign a task it almost never completes the task, my laptop starts to freeze and applications start to fail. Often the app will stop letting me connect via remote and I have to stop and restart the app which is not possible when working remotely.

I have done a fresh install of both the app and codex but nothing seems to fix it, ram usage is maxed out with 16gb.

`Environment`

ChatGPT desktop app for windows

Currently I'm at work, I used remote and gave it a task, it did start working on it but then I assume my laptop has frozen up.

I can't reconnect, every time I look at remote it says it was last seen a minute ago, occasionally it does go back to connecting but then stops again with an updated last seen time
