My server had 16GB of ram and recently has been freezing with 16.8/16GB (due to the high memory usage) and that's why after speaking with my host provider, I got 4GB more. Yesterday after I got the 20GB total ram, I did a wipe and now 20h after the fresh wipe it's 19.7/20GB.

What's going on with the RUST server in general? All my plugins have low memory usage since loaded after the server startup yesterday. The highest one is 130MB, other one with 100MB, 2-3 with above MB and the rest are just a few KBs. I feel if I had the RAM set to 30GB it will go 29/30GB like nothing. Any ideas how to figure out what's wrong? This ain't normal.

I have the same problem. low pop server with 16gb ram , although i do have 100 plugins i have had them for several years but the ram usage is steadily climbing. I have to stop and start the server up at least once a day or i get rubberbanding like crazy and that is when its at 85%. I will have to to increase ram but only have the choice of adding another 16gb which is not feasable at the minute.

The problem is how my host owner gave me 4GB bonus and I was thunking it's good now but with the same map size 3.5k, also fresh wiped, 17 players on the wipe day, later after around 6h it was was 3-4 players and the ram was 19GB (after 15h of uptime) while restart happens at 24h only :(

I have 50+ plugins as well but they're not the PVE type of plugins as I categorize them (npc's, events around the map, heavy logic)... No idea... It's a 2x server, hmmm

Whats your entity count at when the ram usage is high?

80k , and that is from a 40k start after the wipe. (which is normal for me)

Mine is 75k 2 days after the wipe, 3.5k map

Maybe try and uload plugins 1 by one untell ya find the one eating ram.  or run https://umod.org/plugins/performance-monitor

How to figure out this? Unloading plugins won't instantly show any difference and as far as I know unloading or loading the plugins only increases the ram by a few MB's

I agree, I have not installed new plugins for the last 12 months and the ram usage is steadily increasing. I am glad that the massive entity growth seems to have died down , I was getting up to the 500K near the end of the wipe, 

I wasn't getting any high amount of entities, maybe because I had max 20 players for a day or two but in general it's nearly dead. Still the RAM issue bothers me a lot.
