Hello, I also seem to experience this.

I can reproduce this in 7.5.324. I think it's related to its plasmashell widget, every second it consumes +10mb. The memory consumed keep in plasmashell's heap. It grows and grows with no end... and I need to restart plasmashell every few hours 😢

Hi, just wanted to throw in that I am also experiencing this issue. Using KDE Plasma 5.20.5 on Fedora 33. Memory leak reaches about 5GB in ~3 hours running the TogglTrack timer.
