Wrong memory usage reported in Proxmox interface even with ballooning off?

[optical]

Hi all, one of the problems I am trying to get to the bottom to is, Proxmox thinks my OPNsense VM is using 6 gigs of RAM when it's only using 400mb or something? I first simply assumed this would be something to do with ballooning feature, and working as intended if that were desired - but it's not desired for me, I need a realistic representation on if RAM is being used or not - so I disabled it of course - but alas the problem remains. Here are my configuration & problem screenshots, thanks very much




QEMU Agent is Enabled & running on both Proxmox & OPNsense
OPNsense dash reports very little memory usage as well

Proxmox VE is right and displays what the VM uses on your host, despite what the guests lies about. The background is this.
