Hello, I have a pterodactyl panel and my server is showing usage of around 14-15 GB ram sometimes hitting 16 and crashing but my spark reports are only showing around 5/6. I know the environment uses some but the difference seems abnormally big.

I’m using akira flags and have tried adjusting the xms and xmx a few times to try and mitigate it. But it doesn’t seem to help much.
It’s currently set to use up to 10 gb on startup

@Masai Lion pterodactyl doesnt show usage, it shows allocation

Do you know why so much is allocated ? As I said Mr startup is set to max 10 and there’s at least 4-5 gb being used on top

Share your startup settings or spark report which contains your JVM
the answer is the is probably your Xmx / Xms value or -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch being set.

These are my startups I remoed AlwaysPreTouch a while ago hoping that would improve. I have it set to use up to 65% and theres 16gb allocated in pterodactyl
ive also tried xms 1gb to xmx 10gb setting it right off the bat

🤦‍♂️
Doesn't MaxRAMPercentage override xmx
Masai Lion
And MinRAMPercentage overrides xms
Mourning DoveOP
without the max ram percentage there
Asiatic Lion

@Mourning Dove without the max ram percentage there
