autoscale pool trying to scale up without suffecient memory

Hi All,

im running a playwright crawler and am running into a bit of an issue with crawler stability. Have a look at these two log messages


{
  "service": "AutoscaledPool",
  "time": "2024-10-30T16:42:17.049Z",
  "id": "cae4950d568a4b8bac375ffa5a40333c",
  "jobId": "9afee408-42bf-4194-b17c-9864db707e5c",
  "currentConcurrency": "4",
  "desiredConcurrency": "5",
  "systemStatus": "{\"isSystemIdle\":true,\"memInfo\":{\"isOverloaded\":false,\"limitRatio\":0.2,\"actualRatio\":0},\"eventLoopInfo\":{\"isOverloaded\":false,\"limitRatio\":0.6,\"actualRatio\":0},\"cpuInfo\":{\"isOverloaded\":false,\"limitRatio\":0.4,\"actualRatio\":0},\"clientInfo\":{\"isOverloaded\":false,\"limitRatio\":0.3,\"actualRatio\":0}}"
}

}


autoscaled pool is trying to increase its concurrency from 4 to 5 since it was in its view idle. 20 seconds later though

}

which suggests memory was much tighter than autoscaledpool was considering, likley due to the additional ram that chromium was using. Crawlee was running in a k8 pod with a 4GB ram limit. Is this behaviour intended and how might i improve my performance? Does autoscaled pool account for how much ram is actually in use or just how much the node process uses?
