Possible DataStore cache memory leak

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

The memory consumed by the DataStore cache seems to increase over time, eventually crashing the server.

This consistently happens in my game Welcome to Bloxburg. Don’t know why or when it started happening.

On a 1 hour old server, the cache takes up around 270 MB. However, on a 2 hour old server the memory usage increases to 700 MB. On a 6 hour old server, the cache takes up 1.7 GB of memory (see attached console screenshots).

Did you recently change anything with your DataStore code?

Don’t think so. Been using the same system for quite a while.
