Increased Memory Usage by rclone After EC2 Instance Type Upgrade

I have configured rclone to mount the Backblaze storage provider on my Ubuntu-based EC2 instance. Initially, the instance was of type c5.xlarge (4 CPU, 8 GB RAM). Recently, I upgraded to an m6i.xlarge instance (4 CPU, 16 GB RAM). However, after the upgrade, I’ve noticed a significant increase in memory usage by rclone. Previously, it consumed about 1-2 GB of memory, but now it's using 6-8 GB.

Can anyone explain why rclone mount is consuming so much more memory after changing the instance type, and how can I resolve this issue?

Is it the same rclone version?

version installed in system

This is rather old version. There were 10+ rclone releases since then. Could you please try with the latest one? As for now it is v1.68.1.
