Most likely normal behavior, especially if you have a lot of content on your server. Jellyfin uses ram a lot to cache data.
Some of the devs have been investigating for a possible memory leak, but even then if something like that is found and fixed, Jellyfin will still cache a lot of data into ram.
Also, Jellyfin being a server, idling doesn't mean much. It's not supposed to release ram if nobody is using it. It's supposed to be running 24/7 waiting for a client to connect and stream, so having the cached data remain in ram is necessary for whenever a client decides to reconnect. It saves time from having to wait for the server to refetch the data again from the storage disks.
And it being cached data, it's supposed to be released whenever any other application needs to use ram.
