ComfyUI user asks: does it really need regular restarts as memory keeps ballooning
apostrophefee · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit user running H3 reports that ComfyUI gradually consumes more base memory after repeated generations, with output quality seemingly degrading. Neither "Clean VRAM" nor clearing the node cache helps, so they resort to periodically restarting the app entirely.
They're asking whether this is a known issue and if regular restarts are actually the recommended workaround — a common complaint pointing to memory leak behavior in ComfyUI.
