I doubt ram is an issue as there is always at least 1.7GB free. This bug has been occuring or a long time. 3 years old reddit post about it

Can I fix it myself or should I wait for it to get patched? I dont know if this is appropriate place to post this, but I cant use github

Indeed, I do not experience it on my Samsung S22 Ultra, and I remember reading some article about how certain OEMs will change how Android manages RAM to try and improve the "experience" which results in weird behavior such as this.
