My Bitcoin Knots instance is using almost 6 GB of my 8 GB of available ram on my raspberrypi4. What is going on? How do I fix this? ---

had a similar issue… i ended up resetting to defaults on the advanced config and it settled down. Don’t remember now what the issue was but it was counterintuitive to what I thought would settle it down. ---

Just noticed I had the same thing going on. Fixed it doing what you suggested. Thanks a mill! … Must have something to do with the switch from Core. ---
