Not enough RAM? Dynamic links in After Effects

I've been struggling to find out why After Effects suddenly hasn't got enough RAM to render more than 4 frames in a composition. After endless tries, I've found out that my dynamic links to Character Animator scenes were consuming a lot of RAM (around 2-3GB for just 3 scenes) even though I wasn't using compositions with those scenes. So, apparently, After Effects runs Character Animator in the background all the time when scenes are imported into an After Effects project. After deleting those scenes, now everything runs smoothly again.

Hope I could help with this!
