You should never bump `UNICORN_SIDEKIQS` that high, only increasing workers but

This should never happen.

The possibilities are:

1. You are constrained on resources because either  
a) Your site has over grown the server resources  
b) You are misallocating resources
2. There is a bug somewhere in the stack

I’d start making

```plaintext
UNICORN_SIDEKIQS: 1
DISCOURSE_SIDEKIQ_WORKERS: 20

```

which should release some RAM from your server.

For further information you will need to run the offending jobs in a PostgreSQL console and report what is the bottleneck.
