When instance is idle you should see refCount=2 in solrAdmin. One count goes from coreContainer holding a core instance until reload and two comes from solrAdmin request which opens a core while it renders response. So, until you don't request this stat the refCount is 1 that somehow remind quantum mechanics. Seen refcount 171 either mean 169 parallel request, which hardly make sense and I suggest to shrink the Solr container thread pool or/and tweak a client app. But If it keeps growing and remains >2 even when instance is idle, it means some plugin leak it - avoid to close/decref solr core. Hope it helps.
