What happened?

I'm running 2.33.1 on PikaPods. I've been cleaning up some metadata, and noticed that the instance kept maxing out on RAM. It seems to happen when I use the "quick embed" tool. A big chunk of RAM stays allocated after each quick embed action, and it doesn't get freed up until I restart the instance.

What did you expect to happen?

For RAM use to tick up temporarily during the quick embed and then go back down again once it's completed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Audiobookshelf version

2.33.1

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Other (list in "Additional Notes" box)

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None
