Checks

• [X] I have searched github.com/withfig/fig/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• [X] I have run fig doctor in the affected terminal session
• [X] I have run fig restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

MacOS 14 Sonoma

Expected behaviour

Fig should not use 162 GB of ram.

Actual behaviour

I got an alert from MacOS telling me that I've run out of memory. I check activity monitor and I see "Fig Graphics and Media" sitting there at 162 GB of ram. I just upgraded to Sonoma, and this is my first time noticing the issue. Have not been able to replicate it, but thought I'd note it here regardless.

Steps to reproduce

Not as of yet.

@diogohudson thanks for point out the typo, will make sure this is fixed in the next release

[shadeed]

I noticed that my M1 Air surface very hot (first time I notice that). I checked the RAM usage and it's 11GB for Fig alone. I uninstalled it for now. Hope this will be solved soon.

[diogohudson]

@shadeed I don't think they will fix this.

You should move to AWS CodeWhisper (It is the same FIG), but with some Big Tech Burocacies!

AWS Codewhisper

@grant0417 perhaps it is a good time to close this issue in favor of everyone move to AWS Codewhisper.

[jbravata]

Anecdotally, I was having a similar issue to this (I was noticing high CPU usage from this process rather than high RAM usage because it would manifest as my laptop getting noticeably warm -- it might have been both but I didn't check). I switched to Codewhisper and I have not seen it happen again. I don't know if CW fixed it or if essentially doing an uninstall/reinstall helped, but I'd recommend giving it a try and seeing if it clears up the issue.

[wzaldivar]

I just moved to CW as suggested. The only feature I miss is: fig ssh my-local-server just cause I'm lazy enough to set up a local DNS or modify the hosts list

[mcnahum]

Ok so that mean Fig is not maintained anymore? Any way to migrate the autocomplete history from fig to cw?

[hofstede-matheus]

same here, not only high memory usage but the process is also using 100% of CPU

[bradleylandis]

same here. at idle it is reportedly consuming 55% cpu and 45 GB of memory. Also seeing battery drain and temperature problems.

[Manas-Nagelia]

Yeah, it looks like Fig has now merged to Amazon CodeWhispher so moving to that. Amazon Code Whisper command line tool looks exactly the same as Fig, so looks like this is no longer maintained.

[aurelien-edusign]

having this problem for +1 month as well, 76gb of memory today before I killed it

[agodin3z]

In case it helps anyone, every two or three days I run fig restart and so far I haven't had the problem of excessive RAM consumption again.

At least for me, it's a temporary solution as long as CW doesn't have all the fig features (such as servers, plugins) 🤷

[ChrisDugdale]

just posting to add weight to the issue, 60GB usage for me, killed it and restart fixes it temporarily.

[matheuslopesdev]

Just to add one more example, Macbook M1 Pro 16GB Ram, it isn't slow or anything I was just going to kill one process and noticed it

EDIT: After reading the thread I also moved to CW

[aabragan]

I had the same issue on Sonoma Same specs as the Mac above (MacBook Pro - M1 Pro w/ 16GB RAM). Fig Graphics and Media was using over 47GB or memory. I had to kill fig to allow any other apps to keep working.

[michaelfransen]

Just had this has well. 84 GB of memory being used. WTF.

[martindrzka]

This is insane

[aurelien-edusign]

I had to uninstall it. Too much of a problem.

[eranelbaz]

Same M2 Pro

[emredemirhan]

Is there any update on this issue? It's such a troublesome problem that you have to delete the fig just because of this.

[mad-ambi]

This is still happening

[geekz-reno]

same, 36GB on M2

[alish2001]

Still happening

[BClev]

I'm just dealing with this with a workaround. Fig was bought by AWS and is no longer under development in this repo (it's AWS CodeWhisperer now but doesn't have all the features we have with Fig like community plugins and other benefits). Unless someone somehow forks all the code and somehow emulates Fig's signup methodology, this is just going to be the case. As a workaround, just write a cronjob or process to close and reopen Fig every few hours/every day to deal with it. Could even use the Fig AI command to write the script. Until Fig stops working or AWS CW gets the old features of Fig, this is just the reality we all have to deal with.

[MagnusHJensen]

Same issue here:

[diogohudson]

Move AWAY from fig and download the new AWS version.

Fig has Joined AWS!

[DanielZanchi]

same issue. Very sad cuz it worked well :(

[lonrun]

same issue

[Tuily]

What happenned with the Scripts tab? It was my favorite feature.

[bennygoldman]

Same issue.

[fztrevisan]

Same problem here, also using Sonoma (14.1.1)

Just turned the PC on and:

But it is usually consuming more than that!

[ChrisDugdale]

Well this isn't getting fixed is it! Received this email yesterday.

Brendan, Matt, and the CodeWhisperer for command line team.

[agodin3z]

Well this isn't getting fixed is it! Received this email yesterday.

and apparently CW will only have the Autocomplete + AI Features, it does not support Scripts, Servers, Community Plugins 😢

Yeah, that's sad.
