# How to Manage Memory Leaks & Automated Restarts in Palworld

> Ensure long-term server stability. Learn how to mitigate Palworld memory leaks by configuring strategic automated restart schedules via our Game Panel.

## The Technical Reality of Memory Leaks

In its current developmental phase on the Unreal Engine 5, the Palworld server executable is highly susceptible to **Memory Leaks**. This is a technical phenomenon where the engine fails to release unused RAM back to the operating system after certain world events or player actions. Over time, your server's RAM consumption will progressively trend upward in a diagonal line. If left unmanaged, this will eventually consume 100% of your plan's resources, triggering an immediate process crash. Implementing a strategic restart schedule is the most effective method for maintaining high performance.

## Strategic Restart Frequencies

The optimal frequency for restarting your server depends on your community's active player count and your physical memory allocation.

| Assigned RAM    | Recommended Interval | Strategic Purpose                                    |
| :-------------- | :------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------- |
| **8GB - 12GB**  |     Every 4 Hours    | Prevents crashes on high-density survival servers.   |
| **16GB - 24GB** |  Every 6 to 8 Hours  | Balances uptime with consistent tick-rate stability. |
| **32GB+**       |    Every 24 Hours    | Ideal for large-scale enterprise clusters.           |

## Configuration Workflow

Follow these steps to automate your maintenance cycles using the FREAKHOSTING scheduler.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Schedules">
    Log in to the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com), select your server, and click on the **Schedules** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the Task">
    Click **Create Schedule**. Provide a descriptive name (e.g., `Memory Flush`) and set the execution interval using Cron syntax or the visual selector.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define Power Action">
    Click on your new schedule and select **New Task**. Set the action to **`Power Control -> Restart`**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize Maintenance">
    Save the task. The system will now automatically cycle the server binaries, flushing the leaked memory and restoring peak performance.
  </Step>
</Steps>

  ### Real-Time Resource Monitoring

  You can proactively monitor your RAM trend within the **Console** or **Analytics** tabs of your dashboard. A memory leak is visually represented as a constant upward climb. To protect the underlying host node, our system will automatically terminate and restart processes that exceed their allocated safety thresholds.
