Macbook Air M2 15" 2023. 8GB RAM. Sonoma 14.6.1
Activity Monitor reports that bluetoothd is utilising 1.2GB RAM.
There is just one device (Magic Mouse) connected via Bluetooth.
Why does bluetoothd need to use 15% of my computer's RAM
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.6
UPDATE:
The memory leak can be replicated merely by facilitating repeated connection/disconnection of AirPods Pro 2
Each time the AirPods connect, the memory usage increases. When they disconnect the memory usage does not reduce by the same amount that it increased upon connection.
Thus, there is a memory leak which appears to occur when using AirPods Pro 2.
Note:
I have tested repeated connection/disconnection of Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and I do not observe a memory leak with this device
Did you try simply restarting your Mac in the usual manner?

There is no point I am missing. If you are unwilling to take even the simplest first step in attempting to resolve whatever might be wrong, what's the point of asking for help?
Complain about your memory leak someplace else.
You completely miss the point here.
bluetoothd has a memory leak. Why should I have to make manual interventions to resolve a software issue?
bluetoothd using ridiculous amount of memory
