1 month ago Grids don't unload in AC, so if you walk around, the grids will stay loaded (using more ram, even if preloadgrids is off). Needs check memory to see what is actually using it, but I doubt its the addon, it has nothing serverside to store any data from it. It sends chat, so that would be an issue logging chat

1 month ago Oh I think then this is important as to why I am confident it's Carbonite. When I was doing the test, I did make sure to stay in a single zone (Nagrand) I essentially kept flying in a loop around the zone, and the more I flew around, the more server RAM was consumed. It was roughly 0.5GB of RAM every minute. I did it for 20-30 minutes. Normally with all my bots I have RAM usage of ~17GB. This time with "To zone" enabled I had 29.5GB. And yeah it is most certainly about logging chat to others, because when the zone is empty of players, RAM is not affected.
Current Behaviour
This is an issue that I have personally diagnosed and solved months ago for my particular case, but I still think it should be reported to resolve the underlying cause.
I have the addon Carbonite installed. On its default settings, the more you travel, the more server RAM is consumed. I found that this was mainly caused by the setting Privacy & Com>Send position and level ups>To zone.
The more players (or bots) are in a zone, the more server RAM is eaten as you keep travelling.
PreloadAllNonInstancedMapGrids is disabled. If enabled, it takes up about an extra 9GB of RAM (as expected) The setting in Carbonite however keeps eating server RAM without any apparent upper bound. RAM doesn't get released until AC server restart.
Expected Behaviour
Client-side addons should not eat up server RAM, which is the larger issue beyond the specific case of Carbonite.
