cap_memory

What happened#

A script runs with a limit on the memory it may use. When it goes over, the sandbox stops it and answers with this code. detail names the cap that tripped (mem_mb), how much the script used and how much was allowed. The caps differ for a chart and for a run, and the code sandbox section of the Limits page lists them.

What to do#

Keep fewer values alive at once: build one series at a time, and drop intermediate lists and tables you no longer use.
