Memory leak in ChatGPT Mac App?

A non-coder user has reported a significant memory leak issue with the ChatGPT Mac App. The user observes that "Codex processes" consume increasing amounts of system memory, eventually leading to system crashes. To mitigate this, the user frequently archives active threads and starts new ones, which often results in lost work. The user is seeking advice from more sophisticated users on how to prevent or resolve this problem.
