> Hello,
> I have an issue with asterisk stopping accepting new calls.
> When the issue occurs, the console shows those messages:
> ```
> [Jul 21 06:55:49] WARNING[762] pbx.c: Available system memory (~169MB) is below the configured low watermark (200MB)
> [Jul 21 06:55:49] WARNING[762] chan_pjsip.c: Failed to start PBX (call limit reached) 
> ```
> I have set inside asterisk.conf the "minmemfree" value to 200M so this seems right.
> But after checking on the host, I have plenty of ram available:
> ```
> free
>               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
> Mem:        2001944      686428      122692        1560     1192824     1154636
> ```
> Let's do a 'core show sysinfo' :
> ```
>  core show sysinfo 
> System Statistics
> -----------------
>   System Uptime:             197 hours
>   Total RAM:                 2001944 KiB
>   Free RAM:                  121992 KiB
>   Buffer RAM:                107268 KiB
>   Total Swap Space:          0 KiB
>   Free Swap Space:           0 KiB
>   Number of Processes:       390 
> ```
> So it seems that asterisk is only relying on the "free" memory information, and it stops accepting new calls although the host have plenty of available ram.
> This issue seems similar to https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-28695 which has been fixed on 18.X branch if I'm correct.
> Regards
