GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages problem
I have a problem with the GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages intention on my bot.
For a week now, this intention has been using a lot of resources on my server for my bot. Basically, my bot always uses ≈150MB of memory, but memory usage is increasing and not stagnating: my bot has been active for 9 hours and is using 1GB of memory.
And when I deactivate it, everything goes back to normal.
If you have any answers to my questions

Do you have a way to solve the problem please
this week
Well, I've always had this intention activated on my bot, everything was normal, the memory used was stable at around 150MB, and for the past week, because of this intention, memory use has been enormous and keeps increasing.
I removed it from my bot. I waited one night and memory usage was normal.
i dont know
it have 371 guilds
but for a week i have this problem
Nothing
370 guilds and 200000 users
oh
Will this problem correct itself?
probably you need to clean the cache of you bot
idk how
ah
i have that question too
So you can guess that this is a real problem for me.
naturally, if it doesn't receive messages it cannot cache them, so of course that will lighten the memory load
caches are always convenient, but can make your memory footprint much worse, that's to be expected, that's the general trade-off when using caches vs. requesting information as necessary (both in information and database theory)
if you don't need 200 per channel, you can look into sweepers and custom cache limits (client settings)
