So finally, after some back and forth, the support tech was able to reproduce the problem, so now this is a known bug at maxon! - but resolution time will depend on the amount of users affected. So if you also have this problem, please go to https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center , select Support Requests, and choose 'I need technical support' from the dropdown, and explain the memory leak briefly to maxon (including the Redshift render failure issue), letting them know you have also seen other users with this problem. Together, strong!

I have, finally got a reply back today, hopefully we can figure it out!

Hi. You can download a free app called Handbrake (google it) which will help you make super compressed mp4s easily. I use it all the time as an animator.

So I've been having this problem for a long while now, and been unable to find any working solutions online. I work on a Macbook M1 Max with 32GB Unified RAM. The longer I have cinema (2023 at least) open, the more memory it will just eat up. And eventually, my system will ask me to force quit something as it is completely out of memory. It's become even more apparent now that my harddisk is fuller than it was initially, as the message will come earlier. The activity I'm doing doesn't matter as much, the memory eatage will continue either way. Below is an example showing cinema using a whooping 141GB of memory. I have had cases where it uses over 250GB, seems like there is no end to the memory leakage. This also explains why in order to render with redshift after having C4D open for a little while, it says I'm out of VRAM and i have to restart the application to be able to render. Has anyone else ran into this insane memory leak? Any fixes?
