Illustrator 2023/2024 Memory Leak

Is anyone else experiencing bad memory leak problems with recent versions of Illustrator?

I have a script that automates our packaging production, for all of 2022 and most of 2023, the script would run at relatively the same speed throughout each run of a package. 200 packages later, it's still running at the same speed. In recent months, after about 20 or so packages, it is noticeably slower and progressively slows down. I have been able to determine it's a memory problem with the script where it is storing all of the textframes it is interacting with, as well as a few other variables. I have been unsuccessful in figuring out how to stop these from being stored into memory. The only way to clear them is to shut down Illustrator and start up a new instance.

Is anyone else noticing something similar?

Did Adobe change something with how AI and extendscript are interacting?
