Workaround: Create a %UserProfile%\.wslconfig file in Windows and use it to limit memory assigned to WSL2 VM.
Example
[wsl2]
memory=6GB
swap=0
localhostForwarding=true
This will still consume the entire 6GBs regardless of Linux memory usage, but at least it'll stop growing more than that.
Supported settings are documented here.

Hello! I'm Zhenyu Lin. I am currently a Research Assistant at SFSU Mobile and Intelligent Computing Lab, where I conduct research on efficient deep learning algorithms for resource-constrained devices. In one of my projects, namely Real-Time Machine Learning for Ultra Low-power Microcontroller, I implemented model compression techniques, achieving over 85% compression and enabling real-time processing on low-power microcontrollers. Additionally, I have also mentored high school students in an NSF-funded summer program, focusing on efficient deep learning algorithms.
