I have a memory problem with Fill Gradient on a Graphics object in Pixi. Whenever I fill my object as such:

export class PixiCurve extends AContainerComponent {
  public curve = new Graphics();
  container = new Container();

  private pixiEdges: PixiEdges;

  private multiplierRef: MutableRefObject<number>;
  private gradientFill: FillGradient = new FillGradient(0, 0, 0, 0);

  constructor(pixiEdges: PixiEdges, multiplierRef: MutableRefObject<number>) {
    super();
    this.pixiEdges = pixiEdges;
    this.multiplierRef = multiplierRef;

    this.gradientFill.x0 = this.pixiEdges.leftEdge;
    this.gradientFill.y1 = this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge;
    this.gradientFill.x1 = this.pixiEdges.leftEdge;
    this.gradientFill.addColorStop(0, new Color('#de3249'));
    this.gradientFill.addColorStop(1, new Color('#de324900'));

    this.curve.label = 'bezierCurve';
  }

  public drawBezierCurve(x: number, y: number) {
    this.container.removeChild(this.curve);
    this.curve.destroy({ children: true });
    this.curve = new Graphics();
    this.container.addChild(this.curve);

    this.curve.moveTo(this.pixiEdges.leftEdge, this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge);
    const controlX =
      this.pixiEdges.leftEdge + (x - this.pixiEdges.leftEdge) * 0.5;
    const controlY = this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge - this.multiplierRef.current;
    this.curve.quadraticCurveTo(controlX, controlY, x, y);
    this.curve.stroke({ color: 0xde3249, width: 2, alpha: 1 });

    this.curve.moveTo(this.pixiEdges.leftEdge, this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge);
    this.curve.quadraticCurveTo(controlX, controlY, x, y);
    this.curve.lineTo(x, this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge);
    this.curve.lineTo(this.pixiEdges.leftEdge, this.pixiEdges.bottomEdge);

    this.gradientFill.y0 = y;

    this.curve.fill(this.gradientFill);
  }
}

Pixi stats show increasing Texture Count and the app crashes within minutes. Whenever I fill with just a solid color, the problem does not occur.

Any tips on how to achieve this? Or an alternate way to fill the space under the bezier curve with a gradient?

I tried to destroy the curve object with the hopes of freeing it from memory but with no effect.
