Hello, I am trying to create an l4d2 server on Linux, however I ran into an issue about ram memory consumption constantly increasing when changing maps.

I had a server with many plugins and when I started the server and played it started with 1000 fps (even if I used tickrate 100 the amount of fps did not drop much but in the end I removed it to rule out the problem) but I did not notice that after 24 hours the consumption of ram memory was 1.4 Gb (when starting the server it only used approximately 250 Mb) and the server only had 30 fps, sometimes the delay was felt.

To rule out the plugin problem I did a clean installation of the server, without modifications (without sourcemod or metamod).
I started the server and tried the command in the server console "map c1m2", then "map c3m1",
etc., but the ram memory consumption kept increasing with each map change.

I found this post describing the same problem https://github.com/alliedmodders/sourcemod/issues/1838 but didn't find any solution.

Sorry for not mentioning it before but when I said that my server had been online for 24 hours with a consumption of 1.4 Gb of ram, at that time I was using "[L4D2] Improved Automatic Campaign Switcher (ACS) v2.3.0" which already includes the plugin what you mention

I found your plugin "[L4D2] Script Command Swap -Mem Leak Fix" because someone mentions it in the comments of "[L4D2] Proper Changelevel", I will install this and see if it improves a little after 24 hours, although at the moment it doesn't seem to improve

If is a Windows server, usually after "consuming" the RAM, the dedicated server never releases it again (as-design) will release only if you restart the server.
