What steps will reproduce the bug?

Run this and watch memory usage.

const formatMemoryUsage = (data) => `${Math.round(data / 1024 / 1024 * 100) / 100} MB`;

let memoryData = process.memoryUsage();
console.log('Mem before loop', formatMemoryUsage(memoryData.rss));

for (let i = 0; true; i++) {
    const abortController = new AbortController();
    const signal = abortController.signal;
    const composedSignal = AbortSignal.any([signal]);

    if (i === 1000000) {
        break;
    }
}

memoryData = process.memoryUsage();
console.log('Mem after 1 million iteration', formatMemoryUsage(memoryData.rss));

This is what I get on my local machine

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always reproducible as far as I can tell

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Memory post loop execution should be fairly equivalent to the first log but somehow the const composedSignal = AbortSignal.any([signal]); does not get cleaned up from memory, I would expect this to get cleaned properly or if this is the intended behavior to have a clear warning in the documentation.

What do you see instead?

We see a memory leak that will eventually lead to an out of memory error.

Additional information

This has been tested on Node 22.6 on different machine and both Windows + Unix versions. Happy to provide more details if needed

This might (I'm not sure) be a duplicate of #48419

$ node repro.js 
Mem before loop 44.25 MB
Mem after 1 million iteration 1375.11 MB

I started taking some snapshot

@redyetidev would you have any clue?

I think the issue here is that everything is happening in the same tick. This does not leak for me:

const formatMemoryUsage = (data) => `${Math.round((data / 1024 / 1024) * 100) / 100} MB`;

let memoryData = process.memoryUsage();
console.log('Mem before loop', formatMemoryUsage(memoryData.rss));

let i = 0;
function run() {
    const abortController = new AbortController();
    const signal = abortController.signal;
    const composedSignal = AbortSignal.any([signal]);

    if (i === 1000000) {
        memoryData = process.memoryUsage();
        console.log('Mem after 1 million iteration', formatMemoryUsage(memoryData.rss));
    } else {
        i++;
        setImmediate(run);
    }
}

run();
