Paul White has a warning for us:
All that is fairly well-known. The point of this short post is to draw your attention to another side-effect of adding
OPTION (RECOMPILE)— the parameter embedding optimization (PEO).When PEO is used, SQL Server takes the value of any variables and parameters and embeds the runtime values in the query text, pretty much as if you had entered them by hand before compiling. This is often very useful for plan quality, but there is a potential drawback when large object types (LOBs) are in play.
