That doesn't seem that extreme if it is a large project. JetBrains products are more than just a text editor and tend to be pretty aggressive with RAM usage.
I'm at 3.28GB backend + 1.83GB frontend for a medium-large PHP project as well. Pretty huge memory requirements but I've got plenty so not a big deal, just noticeable compared to alternatives.
