When running claude code and having it work, it takes over 20 GB of RAM on my macbook, which basically directly goes into swap and makes the entire computer unusable.
I'm on latest version and never had this kind of issue before 2.1.27

What Should Happen?

Well I don't know but probably not use that much RAM
