I am on macOS 15.2 and right this moment I’ve simply found a really dangerous behavior for idleassetsd: a large reminiscence leak when working offline.
My state of affairs is: display savers disabled, static background, and dealing principally offline.
I restarted my MacBook Air M1 and opened Exercise Monitor within the reminiscence pane; idleassetsd began coming out with a really restricted utilization, however then it grew up and after a couple of minutes is now utilizing 21 GB of reminiscence (principally swapped)!
Whereas scripting this few sentences, the quantity has already modified to 23.00 GB.
This occurs when idleassetsd is offline, so when my machine just isn’t linked (actually offline) or after I block it to achieve the community (I am utilizing TripMode, however another method exhibits the identical conduct).
What’s taking place is that within the subsequent 30 to 60 minutes my arduous drive will likely be absolutely used, and my Mac will crash and reboot.
If I am going on-line the reminiscence utilization stabilize (however does not lower if I do not reboot), however then the software program downloades plenty of gigabytes (like described in different posts like idleassetsd going loopy).
Only for completion: the software program can be writing gigabytes and gigabytes on my SSD, each when on-line and offline, consuming my SSD.
I’ve tried all the answer discovered to disable it for the reason that disk and community utilization is a well-known bug from macOS 14, whereas it is the primary time I learn concerning the reminiscence leak, however none was working.
Thanks all for any thought or suggestion.
ps: now 25.7 GB and counting…….
Replace 1: I’ve reported it to Apple.
Replace 2: What I’ve tried to resolve the problem thus far:
- numerous reboots (pressured and “pure”)
- eliminated information within the /Library/Software Help/com.apple.idleassetsd folder (and rebooted)
- chosen the Sequoia screensaver for all accounts – customary, not animated (and rebooted)
- disabled the screensavers activation from all accounts (and rebooted)
- enabled the Sequoia background on all accounts (and – guess what? – rebooted!)
- killed the method
- deeply searched on Google, Reddit, StackOverflow and different assets
