Description

After updating VSCode to version 1.93, I started to notice that the laptop was running slower and was starting to heat up. I checked the activity monitor and saw Code Helper Plugin taking up more than 2GB of RAM.

I started disabling all plugins in all VSCode and restarting the application and after I disabled GithubCopilot - these 2 processes disappeared.

Reproduction Steps

• Use VS Code version 1.93
• Use GithubCopilot version v1.232.0 and GithubColipot Chat - v0.20.3
• Use MacBook Pro M1 8GB Sonoma 14.5

Steps:

1. Open VS code
2. Add GithubCopilot extention
3. Restart VS code
4. Open GithubCopilot Chat and ask something
5. Check Activity Monitor

UPD: I've updated GithubCopilot to the v1.234.0 and I have bigger memory leak:
