stac_image_collection crashing RStudio

I've been going through the Geocomputation with R textbook and have run into an issue with gdalcubes crashing in the example script given here..

library(rstac)
library(gdalcubes)

s = stac("https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v0")
items = s |>
  stac_search(collections = "sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs",
              bbox = c(7.1, 51.8, 7.2, 52.8), 
              datetime = "2020-01-01/2020-12-31") |>
  post_request() |> items_fetch()

collection = stac_image_collection(items$features, 
                                   property_filter = function(x) {x[["eo:cloud_cover"]] < 10})

RStudio crashes upon running stac_image_collection(). The RGui terminal also freezes. Not sure if this is overwhelming the RAM on my machine (32 GB) or what.

Info (I actually have windows 11, not sure why it says Windows 10).
