HUGE memory leak - Mac Apple Silicon - Premiere Pro version 23.2

The memory leak issue was there in 23.5 but not as pernicious/common. In 23.2 it appears after an hour of having the project open. 

23.5 had a bug that meant my program window was black when source clip LUTs were enabled. I've had 2 different remote help sessions, both advised to downgrade to 23.2, but it's not workable.

In what version did you see the behavior, before moving back to versions < 23.2?

Same issue for me. Had to downgrade to 23.2 to fix a different bug, but 23.2 has the memory leak issue. It's so disruptive.

Sure! [reached out directly]

I managed to capture the log file during this happening if adobe want it? or where to post it?

The only fix I could find for this problem was to install an older version of the software. It now runs the same tasks that were  chewing up memory and causing crashes without any issues. Looks like a bug in recent versions of Premiere.

Nope, 3 or 4 versions in people still having the issue, amongst about 50 others, make a complaint to customer service, these forums aren’t always checked by adobe staff.

Just upgraded to v 23.5 and I am still having this issue. 2021 M1 Max 32gb Ram.

Most of my commercial work is only a few h.264 files less than 5 minutes long.

DaVinci Resolve is sounding real tempting right now. Has there been any real solutions given by Adobe? 

A few days ago I wrote that with the versions 23.3 and 23.4 I wasn't having this issue, but with the version 23.5 I did. I think, at least for me, the issue appears when exporting, in any case I use a Lumetri mask and the final video is more than 15 minutes long, because I've been exporting videos with the same mask but shorter (10 minutes long) and everything went smooth. Please Adobe, stop making me waste my time and missing my deadlines and already solve this major problem!

I've been having this issue too. I just updated to Premiere version 23.5, running Ventura 13.2.1 on an M1 Pro Macbook Pro with 16gb ram.  I've tried everything everyone has mentioned in this post, other than just reverting back to a much older version of Premiere. Nothing's worked.

I haven't even created a sequence yet! I'm just importing footage into a new project, and I've been getting the application memory error about every 10-15 minutes. It's infuriating. This also happened a lot on my last project, which was a BTS package for a pretty big multi-editor network gig. It cost us a ton of time (particularly our poor assistants who spent day after day trying to figure it out). Just chiming in to hopefully help alert Adobe that this is a serious problem.

I've seen it recommended elsewhere that switching to the Intel version of Premiere might help. I can't tell if that's a facetious suggestion ... has anyone tried it? Or does it seem worth trying?
