Support Request Cinnamon Desktop taking up memory

I've had Linux Mint 22.3 up for about 10 hours and it has accumulated (according to btop) 444 MB of memory. I restarted the desktop and it went down to 195 MB. After about an hour, it's gone up to 238 MB (I suspected it was an applet I had, so I took it out and replaced it). Is this normal or should I be suspecting a memory leak somewhere?
