Steam PoE Memory Leak after AFK

As the title states, PoE (steam version) has a memory leak if you keep the game on, but with specific skills.

My current build setup is running spark, ball lightning, desecrate, volatile dead, blazing salvo, and forbidden rite. The kicker is that there were no mobs present in the screen, so no lag/memory allocated for those guys. The area was also basically clear from loot (20-30 items at most).

I have been playing this build before as a chaos version (without the elemental skills), but the game never used more than 9gb of RAM in juiced maps even after leaving it afk for 12+ hours.

My system specs:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
OS: Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz, 2208 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
Memory: Total Physical Memory 15.9 GB
Available Virtual Memory 20.1 GB
Page File Space 23.9 GB

I have 20gb free on my boot drive (ssd) (basically system reserved, only programming language libraries and modules installed besides system-specific software).
I have over 200gb free on my data drive (hdd), which I have dedicated for paging as well (slower, but no can do with small boot drive).
