Is there a memory leak in macOS Monterey

I have updated to macOS Montery Beta 12.0 (21A5294g) and after some time the macOS always runs out of memory and I get the "Your system has run out of memory" window. The screenshot below is taken about 20 after booting. The memory is almost used completely (27,90 GB of 32,00 GB). Also you can see the memory in swap at 38,86 GB. The swapped memory is constantly increasing, every minute 2 GB or so.

My question is less how to fix the issue (although this would also be nice to know). But more, how I find out what the memory is using, because as you can see the memory used by the applications doesn't add up to 27 GB. I also have "View all processes" enabled in the "view" tab.

What is using all that memory? The os? Why doesn't it show what is using that memory?

Edit: I changed the screenshot, to enable the real Memory column, but still the memory doesn't add up.

Stop using Chrome. It is a known memory hog (not to mention it's less CPU and energy efficient, less stable, and more prone to security vulnerabilities). Switch to Safari for a week and see if your memory issues go away.

(As others have pointed out in comments, bugs are expected in beta releases [and, unfortunately, in final releases] and there may be nothing that you can do to resolve this except wait for an update which has a fix. While Safari definitely uses less memory than Chrome, that alone may not be enough to eliminate your constant memory pressure.)

If this persists without Chrome, we can take the next step and identify which process(es) is/are contributing to the frequent allocations.
