hey, i'm trying to let docker chew up as much of my memory as i want but i can't convince it to. i've gone into preferences -> virtual machine and set it to 48GB but

docker stats

MEM USAGE / LIMIT

stats that look like

897.4MiB / 2.909GiB

You must use macOS 12.4 or later on M1 machines. There is a kernel bug in earlier macOS versions that will cause a crash if you use more memory, so lima will automatically cap your request, even when you ask for more.
