Continuing the discussion from [Sidekiq is consuming too much memory, restarting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidekiq-is-consuming-too-much-memory-restarting/48395/40):

I’ve adjusted the setting and see this in the container:

```plaintext
root@ip-10-4-2-52:/# set|grep SIDE
UNICORN_SIDEKIQS=1
UNICORN_SIDEKIQ_MAX_RSS=1000

```

But I see this in the logs:

```plaintext
Sidekiq is consuming too much memory (using: 535.10M) for 'site', restarting

```

It would seem like 535.10M \< 1000, right? I feel like I must have a typo or something else really silly.

This is a very busy site with 600-800K pageviews/day with 7 (largely idle) web containers running in ECS.

There are 4 CPUs in the task, should I increase `UNICORN_SIDEKIQS`?

If I run `[ENV["UNICORN_SIDEKIQ_MAX_RSS"].to_i, 500].max.megabytes` in rails, I get `1048576000`, so it seems like Rails should have access to the ENV, but maybe running rails myself is somehow different from the one that gets cranked up on boot?
