I'm experiencing a persistent RAM exhaustion issue when running Bitcoin Core on my system. Here is a brief overview of the problem:
Description of the problem:
I have a Bitcoin Core node configured on my system and I poll it every minute using a Python script consulting for new blocks and polling each broadcast using the REST API. Despite setting the “dbcache” setting in my bitcoin.conf file to the default value of 450 MB, I noticed a gradual increase in RAM consumption over time.
To fix this I have to close Bitcoin Core and reopen it every now and then.
