Laravel Artisan Hangs using Memory Until Freeze

Question

With Laravel 5.4 Artisan will not run and uses a lot of memory, it worked a long while before with the same versions (besides PHP 7.0.14 to 7.0.15 maybe?).

Answer 1

Did a new installation, and this is causing it:

config.php/app

$providers => [
...
Laravel\Cashier\CashierServiceProvider
...
]

from https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/billing

I'm not sure why this is causing it. I have followed the instructions with no implementation (I cannot migrate without artisan running either. This is odd but fixes it for now.
