Roblox Studio freezes when left unattended for prolonged amount of time

For some time now, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue with Roblox Studio. Whenever I leave it running in the background unattended—meaning I don’t interact with it at all—for a while, I return to find that it has become extremely laggy and almost unresponsive (sometimes even actually becoming unresponsive, resulting in me having to close it with task manager and reopen it). The lag scales depending on the amount of time that I don’t interact.

This issue disrupts my workflow, as in order to fix the lag, I have to either:
a) Move around a lot (only works when I don’t interact for about 15 minutes or so)
b) Entirely close studio, and reopen it (the case most of the time. this sometimes is a problem, because if the window freezes, loss of progress is possible)

I have spoken to many other creators, and they confirmed that they have this issue as well.

Do you have log files from one of these hung sessions that you’d be willing to send in via direct message?

Hi, I have sent what I believe to be a relative crash log file here. (bug-files group message)
