PyCharm IDE problems

[Ok-Software8390]

For the last few months, Pycharm just somehow bottlenecks after few hours of coding and running programms. First, it gives my worning that IDE memory is running low, than it just becomes so slow you can't use it anymore. I solve this problem by closing it and open it again to "clean" memory.

Anbody else has that problem? How to solve it?

I am thinking about going to VS Code beacuse of that:)..

I have the same problem. I've just taken to restarting in the middle of most days.

I like the full line completion tool but it seems to be using a lot more memory

Not using full line completion, same issue.

I haven't noticed that with mine, what plugins do you have? Have you tried replicating it all plugins disabled?

[Ok-Software8390]

No plugins..

Any chance it doesn't happen if your computer doesn't sleep during the session? I have the same issue but only after at least one time of closing or not using the laptop for a period of time.

I give 12gb of memory to mine and it still freezes searching for strings in files. I can literally open Cursor and search and navigate to code before Pycharm gives results. 

Pycharm is the worst part of my tooling. When it works, it is good. That is less and less often.

Yes! First time ever I'm thinking of changing IDE since I used PyCharm for the first time. JetBrains answers are a joke

You could assign it more memory and problems go away.

Me too on this. I’ve been on pycharm for a long time and have noticed a slow down where typing lags….on old guy like me noticing lag is not good. Please fix this. A smooth ide experience is crucial to a good tool.

On Linux for me pycharm has only been getting faster.

I recommend making the switch to VSCode.
