Wireplumber consuming all memory

Wireplumber process is consuming 24 GB of ram without explanation, does anyone know why this happens?

COMMAND                   %MEM    RSS
wireplumber               69.8    20965.25
Discord                   0.8     242.67
firefox                   0.7     237.19
WebExtensions             0.7     220.31
slack                     0.6     183.62
gnome-shell               0.5     165.05

It worked fine since last update of pipewire

Not trying to necro bump this thread, but I have this problem as well. Not sure if this is a rare case.
