Mac out of application memory when generating previews

Question

TLDR; when mac loses local network access, lightroom keeps trying to build previews until it hits 120gb of application memory and crashes. 
 
If usung remote storage of photos, and the os drops the network mount lightroom classic keeps trying to build previews without warning. 
 
Something leaks and consumes between 120 and 130gb of application memory. 
 
Network drops for Mac not Windows. 
Drops every 5 mins or randomly 
New Mac m4 pro, was migrating from Windows,  maybe I'll go back to Windows...

Hey, @cant_find_an_unused_sname. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic. I'll help you figure this out.

Please share the system info from Lightroom Classic from Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

Is your Lightroom Syncing any images? Where do you store your catalog? Is it on the external drive or the internal drive? Also, go to Lightroom Classic > Performance > disable 'Generate Previews in parallel' and check how it goes.

Thanks!
