Bug Description
The Gnome shell consumes an extremely high amount of memory and not clearing up. While using the system it doesn't take much memory, however, when being put to sleep, it builds up memory usage. The next day system becomes too slow and takes a long time to respond. It returns to a normal state after I kill the "gsd-color" process from the system monitor.
For instance, gsd-color took 1Gb of memory while working, but after putting it to sleep overnight, it shows usage of 28Gb memory the next day.

Thanks for the bug report. I can't find any upstream leak fixes in gnome-settings- daemon and gnome-desktop that you wouldn't already have.
If you can then please upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 and see if the problem is already fixed. If you can't, or if it's not fixed, then please report it at https:/ /gitlab. gnome.org/ GNOME/gnome- settings- daemon/ -/issues
