Plank suddenly consuming all of my memory & swap, invoking oom-killer.

journalctl output:

Oct 09 11:10:45 ARCHUS systemd[770]: app-plank@9e97071f70ea4515b4095bd107f6466f.service: A process of this unit has been killed by the OOM killer.

Why is this happening and what solution could I seek to fix this?
