I’m noticing that the memory usage shown in htop, top, and Proxmox Web UI seems incorrect or inconsistent, especially for free memory — it's much lower than expected even when VMs aren’t using much.

My PVE Version 8.4.1.

whenever i am rebooting then show fine but after an hours again Memory usage increased drastically.

root@TAK-1:~# free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 197762588 126903776 3412988 84648 70702216 70858812
Swap: 8388604 524 8388080


Please help!
