Send Media Message Memory Leak

[mikelx99]

Hello, my Baileys bot has a high memory usage problem. When the bot sends an image, the RAM usage increases. If the bot sends a lot of images, the memory usage keeps increasing and it does not release that memory. This continues until the system memory limit is reached and the system kills my bot.

Even after the bot reaches 800MB memory usage, leaving it idle for 1 days does not release that memory.

However, when I send a document message (500MB document), the memory is released after the message sent successfully. Currently, this issue occurs when sending images. Please help me fix this issue. Thank you

Connection Code

const {
  makeWASocket,
  DisconnectReason,
  useMultiFileAuthState,
  fetchLatestBaileysVersion,
  makeCacheableSignalKeyStore,
} = require("@whiskeysockets/baileys");
const { Boom } = require("@hapi/boom");
const pino = require("pino");
const messageHandler = require("../handlers/messageHandler");
require("dotenv").config();

//setup logger
const logger = pino();
logger.level = "fatal";

//node cache
// const msgRetryCounterCache = new NodeCache();

async function connectToWhatsApp() {
  const { state, saveCreds } = await useMultiFileAuthState("auth_tvinfo");
  const { version, isLatest } = await fetchLatestBaileysVersion();
  console.log(`v${version.join(".")}, isLatest: ${isLatest}`);
  const sock = makeWASocket({
    // can provide additional config here
    printQRInTerminal: true,
    auth: {
      creds: state.creds,
      /** caching makes the store faster to send/recv messages */
      keys: makeCacheableSignalKeyStore(state.keys, logger),
    },
    logger,
    // msgRetryCounterCache,
  });

  sock.ev.process(async (events) => {
    if (events["connection.update"]) {
      const update = events["connection.update"];
      const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update;
      if (connection === "close") {
        // reconnect if not logged out
        if (
          lastDisconnect?.error instanceof Boom &&
          lastDisconnect.error.output.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
        ) {
          connectToWhatsApp();
        } else {
          console.log(`Connection closed. You are logged out.`);
        }
      } else if (connection === "open") {
        console.log("Connected 🙃");
      }
    }
    if (events["creds.update"]) {
      await saveCreds();
    }
  });

  // Handle Messages
  messageHandler(sock);
}

Handle Image Code

const messageHandler = async function (sock) {
  sock.ev.on("messages.upsert", async (m) => {

    const msg = m.messages[0];

    const msgText = getText(msg);
    const imageUrl = getImgUrl(msgText);

    const reply = await sock.sendMessage(
    msg.key.remoteJid,
    {
      image: {
        url: imageUrl,
      },
      caption: msgText,
    },
    { quoted: msg }
  );

}}
