HTOP showing endless kde/plasma processes

On my NixOS Server I login through the iKVM Interface's Remote Desktop of my Supermicro H12SSL motherboard to admin the system from time to time, especially when SSH packets are aggresively filtered on the network I'm on, making SSH logins impossible without tunneling SSH through HTTPS. I have KDE Plasma installed on that system. As a result of many connections over the weeks, KDE Plasma seems (?) to open a new Desktop session each time I connect, but never close it.

As a result I end up in a situation like the video attached. A huge list of /bin/plasmashell, org.kde.plasma.webrowser, kscreenlock, konsole etc.
I'm not actually sure if that's the reason or how to properly debug said situation and it may not have anything to do with KDE or it's packages. Still I would love some tip on how to debug this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login multiple times over the BMC's Remote desktop
2. See sessions piling on that never close

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
No endless lists of processes of the same name.

Without knowing a lot more about how the system is set up and how you're using it, I'm afraid it'll be impossible for us to figure out if a bug in our code is causing this.

Since you seem very technically knowledgeable, could you do some more debugging yourself? Perhaps ask on a NixOS forum, if you're not sure how to proceed yourself.
