Memory limits in destination pod causing OutOfMemoryError

Summary

Investigating memory limits in Kubernetes pods causing OutOfMemoryError despite not reaching the configured limit.


Question

Is anyone familiar with any memory limits inside a destination pod that might be lower than the pod’s configured limit? I’m regularly seeing destination > Terminating due to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space errors when my pod is only using 13GB but the k8s pod limit for the pod is 16GB.
