Yes, it seems that in the last few weeks, RAM limit suspensions have become a lot more common. I actually wrote something about it in another topic a few hours ago:
We don’t have an article yet about hitting the RAM limits. Until recently, hitting it was really rare, but it appears hat something was changed recently because in the last few weeks it’s been happening quite often. But I personally also don’t know what circumstances commonly cause high RAM usage.
What I can tell you is the following:
PHP scripts require system memory (RAM) to work, mostly to load data and variables into the code so it can be used for processing.
Servers have a finite amount of RAM, and if the server runs out, the server pretty much stops working. So we need to place limits to make sure this doesn’t happen.
There are internal metrics that track how much RAM all your PHP scripts are using at a given time. If your website uses too much RAM, this is recorded.
If your account uses too much RAM too many times, your account will be suspended for 24 hours.
Again, how exactly this related to website behavior, I don’t know.
I did take a quick look at your site to see what could be causing this. I do see that you’re using Elementor, which has higher memory limits for it’s system requirements than we provide, so it might be quite a memory hog. I also see you’re using Jetpack (which is also known for being quite demanding) and a backup plugin (which are also known for triggering suspensions due to overload).
Your site also seems to be using Elementor, and there are also traces of backup/restore plugins, so maybe that’s the common cause for this?
