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

Moved post into “General” forum. How did you apply the settings? Share your config.

[image] dylanx300: Same here You had an issue with the Disk image limit in Docker Desktop, but this topic is about memory limits and we don’t know if it is related to Docker Desktop or not. I answered in your topic and we are waiting for @ryanfur ’s reply here.

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?
