memory limiter kill is a process-level memory control mechanism introduced in Android 17 that sets an independent total memory cap for each app (including the Java heap, native heap, graphics buffers, etc.); when exceeded, it terminates the process and records the reason as REASON_MEMORY_LIMIT.

VerifiedWhen memory pressure becomes too high, the Android system triggers the Low Memory Killer mechanism to forcibly terminate processes.79% similarUnverifiedWhen the operating system's OOM Killer decides whether to terminate a process, it bases the decision on whether the instantaneous memory peak touches the memory limit, not on average memory usage.68% similarUnverifiedMemory is a hard constraint on undo implementation in bitmap editors; actual implementations require a capacity-limited structure that clears older minor operations when memory is tight in order to retain recent ones.66% similarUnverifiedOOM, or Out of Memory, refers to a situation where the memory requested by a program exceeds the available system limit, causing the operating system to forcibly terminate the process.64% similarUnverifiedJava OOM only concerns the managed heap limit, whereas total app memory also includes native RAM such as graphics buffers and C++ allocations.64% similar
