The tsserver at 1.65.2 is definitely leaking memory. This is the process invocation:

/opt/visual-studio-code/code \
    --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node \
    --max-old-space-size=8192 \
    /opt/visual-studio-code/resources/app/extensions/node_modules/typescript/lib/tsserver.js \
        --useInferredProjectPerProjectRoot \
        --enableTelemetry \
        --cancellationPipeName /tmp/vscode-typescript1000/6b96d5eb10edce778406/tscancellation-938f9057679d25ad026c.tmp* \
        --locale en \
        --noGetErrOnBackgroundUpdate \
        --validateDefaultNpmLocation \
        --useNodeIpc

The tsserver logs shows the that certain message getApplicableRefactors is never receiving response and always requested to be canceled. The process is getting abort signal when reaching the configured memory limits (tried 8gb!). Downgrading to 1.64.2 and the problem disappears. I think this is a bug.

@mjbvz I can confirm that problem disappears in previous 1.64.2

BTW tried also with nightly, same problem.

I found this report while searching on the issue myself. I only noticed it happening starting with 1.65 but no idea WHY it started happening. @Zx-EvM has provided more detail than I could have. I had initially tried disabling extensions as well with no change.

It looks as if @nati-maskens may have nailed it.

UPDATE: Just upgraded to 1.66 and the issue is still present. Spinner is still spinning on Loading IntelliSense status.
