I also have the same issue, though I don't have the same Task Manager (ab)use. Sorry for the mostly useless confirmation. The behavior is quite similar and my system versions are the same (except for a slightly newer kernel): Debian Bullseye 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version. 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Bump x9. I'd appreciate if this bug takes priority - it might be causing other accidental threads being created in relation to memory leaks and mistaking side effects in other places (such as I did with plasma widgets). It makes it impossible to keep a desktop linux distro running KDE for several days and it's making the desktop environment give a really poor impression and experience. To all who are experiencing this issue, please retest with Plasma Frameworks 5.86.0 or newer. https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/73782c8b39d1cc41fef003acca8df75ccdf384e4 . Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Sorry, Janitor bot, can't provide any info until the next Debian release, which definitely won't happen in 30 days. Remind me in 1.5-2 years. For the time being I do something like `pkill plasmashell && sleep 5 && plasmashell --replace &` to restart plasmashell when it grows too big. Also, my usage pattern has changed, I don't interact with the Task Manager as much as I used to when reporting this bug, so it takes plasmashell longer to grow in size, so I have to restart it only every two weeks or so, which is manageable. Then I guess there's nothing to do here, unfortunately. Plasma 20.04 is no longer supported, as it is neither the latest version nor a Long Term Support (LTS) version. Debian's packagers should maybe consider sticking to LTS versions in the future if their packaging policies preclude shipping the latest version. Er, I mean, Plasma 5.20.4 is no longer supported. Darn version numbers! Understandable, thanks for handling the issue.

That wouldn't make a difference, as Stable precludes updating packages at all, unless it's a CVE patch. So even if Stable shipped with a LTS version of Plasma, it still wouldn't get updated.
