Good morning team, I hope you are very well, I am working on a node with Proxmox VE 6.3-2, the problem I have is that the SWAP memory is reached quickly and never decreases, When I free the swap memory everything works fine, without However, after less than 12 hours, the swap is already at 100% and it remains there. I have tried changing the swappiness value, however it doesn't help at all.

Do you have a solution or do you know what this problem is due to?

Greetings!
 
You didn't told us your RAM utilization. Massive swapping is usually a sign that your host is running out of RAM. If the kernel is panicing because there is not enough RAM it will swap a lot no matter what swappiness you will set. So whats your hosts free -h output?
