memory limit

Storage space cap

A memory limit is the maximum amount of computer memory a program or process is allowed to use.

Operating systems and runtime environments impose memory limits to prevent any single application from consuming all available resources: The script crashed because it exceeded the memory limit.

Developers must optimize code to work within these constraints, especially on servers or embedded systems where resources are shared or scarce.
