I have a limit on a docker container but it is still using more then the alloted memory.

Docker using more memory then allowed (past limit)

Same here, I just posted about an hour before you with the same issue. I think the latest version of docker came out a month ago so it might be related to the latest version. Are you on v4.40.0?
