whats weird is finally after all this time the planner leak stopped entirely, like a switch flipped. Something weird is going on for sure with all this since it happened on brand new fresh servers but stopped happening when I've changed nothing. 

is this still happening for any of you? so weird it suddenly stopped and my server stability normalized

Ok, so finally I have found others having the same problem. I was with Game server Kings and they also said it was a plugin. But like yourselves, I ran server with no plugins and had same stuff happen. I have tried all that I could to minimize the entities but still they climb without error. Ended up leaving them and going with GTXGaming as at least they could expand the ram unlike Shockbyte who I was also with. Now have 16 gig ram for 60 slot server which is stupid as months ago was running fine on a 6 gig server. New stuff added to Rust and FAcepunch ignorant of the hell it has brought server runners.

Anyway, if someone finds a solution I am all ears, as at the moment am having to restart every 6 hours and lost over 30 players with all these issues. So I wish you all the best but If I find a solution or you do, please post here. Thanks!!!

thank you for sharing your experiences to help narrow down the cause (and keep me sane)

EUGamehost works better and ive never had issues, i was able to get help with them and got the plugin to work, and rewrite plugins to fix broken stuff like ect furnaces not workign with furnace spliutter and ect.

I'm having the same issue and I actually found this plugin from GameServerKing after they helped diagnose my server cause I kept hitting the ram limit. They installed this plugin and found tens of thousands of planners and what not. I cut my entities from 340k to 150k, but now it's up to 180k today and 10k of those are planners

object planner remove radius 0 inside true

We found 10848 entities in 1.645s.

Calling 'CommandObject' on 'ObjectRemover v3.0.5' took 1645ms

Calling 'CommandObject' on 'ObjectRemover v3.0.5' took average 1670ms​

I was just about to buy more ram until they ran object remover

-That would be $2.82 for the rest of current month and $40.19 / mo starting next month ($3.4 more).
please go ahead and do that
Give me a moment to check something before proceeding. Spawning 366602 entities - That seems to be wayyy too many for a 3800 map.

#1 - planner x 49968
#2 - syringe_medical.entity x 25878
#3 - flare.weapon x 24211
#4 - binocular.entity x 13726

#6 - hatchet.entity x 12573

#8 - mace.entity x 7857
#9 - salvaged_cleaver.entity x 7779
#10 - bow_hunting.entity x 7583
#11 - m92.entity x 5940
#12 - passengerchair x 5798
#13 - m39.entity x 5101
#14 - survey_charge x 5052
#15 - lasersight.entity x 4222
#16 - flashlight.entity x 4136
#17 - knife.combat.entity x 3987
#18 - crossbow.entity x 3955
#19 - lr300.entity x 3949
#20 - xmas.lightstring.deployed x 3870

The list goes on which you can check with objtop 50 from Object Remover, but yeah it should never have that many of all these. Looks like one of the plugins is leaking items which is causing high RAM usage.

This plugin will fix all of your entity problems There is no config or anything and it runs once per hour. I went from 230k to 80k in under 1 min after installing Apparently this is a restricted website when i try to post the direct link but its at the site rustworkshop dot space plugin is called Broken Items Cleaner and is free

Can you list the plugins you use on your server? I would like to compare to mine and see what we have in common to have a place to start with trying to nail down what plugin is causing this.

Interesting info from Facepunch blog related to planner

Interesting read. I feel like they are underestimating those numbers though.
