I do have this in /logs. This particular warning did not coincide with the backup- I’ll check for that in the morning (backups are done at night). But I didn’t realize Discourse its own memory check- I thought you were referring to the OOM killer. Can I increase the allowed memory size for Sidekiq?

EDIT: I see this:

> Also, if your server has enough total RAM, you can increase the memory allocation for Sidekiq. Place this in the env: section of app.yml: UNICORN\_SIDEKIQ\_MAX\_RSS: 1000 The default maximum is, I believe, 500mb.
