Server keeps maxing out RAM and freezing.

Hello. I have a Fabric 1.19.2 server with around 50 mods on 6 GB of RAM. The server mostly has two or three people online at a time, and the view distance is set to 10. The issue is that the RAM usage is constantly rising, leading to the server to freeze when hitting -Xmx. There could be a single player online, playing for an hour or so, and the server would still hit -Xmx. Why is it freezing when it maxes out? I had a Forge server before with like 100 mods running on 6 GB of RAM as well, and I had the same issue, but when I downloaded the server and ran it on my phone on a mere 2 GB of RAM it never froze. It did hit 2 GB pretty quickly, but it never froze. So, what's the deal? Is my phone that OP? I use WitherHosting, by the way. Are they lying about their RAM?

"is my phone that OP" 💀 may be worth contacting witherhosting support, and asking them to allocate more overhead hosts should give you more RAM for overhead and if they are overselling they will be allocating more RAM than you can actually use without running out of memory

if they refuse could i just ask them to lower my -Xmx? i mean, if the forge server i had was struggling with 6 GB on WitherHosting but ran fine on 2 GB on my phone.. i could ask them to lower it to 4 GB or sum?
