disnoted consuming my memory

I have seen previous questions about disnoted going as far back as 7 years, but I have not seen an answer to the problem I have. I have tried to kill multiple disnoted processes using activity monitor and failed. Does anyone know how to kill these processes?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

I argue with computers in many languages, but they always get the last word.7y

It's the daemon that implements the notification center system service. Under normal circumstances it should use only a few megabytes of memory and a negligible amount of CPU.

There have been several observed bad interactions between some programs and the service which eventually impact resource usage by the daemon. Notably skype, f.lux, emacs have all been known or suspected to have bad interactions.

Try quitting apps or disabling Notifications one at a time to find the offender.
