Hi. I’m developer for Easy Logger and got a message from one of mye user telling the App had stoppet. Meaning not producing anything. The user was finding a pause icon on the App. I have never seen that before. Anyone knows about this state ? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/f/7fc02c46b68587921c28b8639ecc4da272f8eb25.png) ---

When an app uses more than 80MB of RAM is gets paused automatically. ---

aha, didn’t know that. The issue is now documented on web page [https://wiki.bwa.no/x/DoFEDQ](https://wiki.bwa.no/x/DoFEDQ) Thanks ---

Is there a way to detect the memory usage and for now restart the app is it happens ? assuming pausing is not a crash . ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/0/40c7ce41cbee060af9af79908c459a2e2fb7fa57.png) ---

I assume that it will work, but I am not sure. Another intermediate solution could be to restart the app automatically 1 time per day via Flow. I had already pointed out to you on Twitter that your app requires a lot of RAM, but unfortunately you didn’t respond. I’m not an app developer, but as far as I know there is a recommendation from Athom what the maximum memory consumption of an app should be. I think that it should be a maximum of 20-25 MB. @robertklep, do you have any information on this? ---

I think you’re right, I seem to remember something similar (although the only actual limit is the aforementioned 80MB). Can’t find it on the dev site though. ---

I had already looked there too and found nothing. ---

It’s mentioned under App performance in the Developer Tools ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/4/040dfb46ffba2a31f67c2194b9586e0843e2413b.png) ---

@DirkG Sorry for not see your twitter message, got lost in the forest … The true story behind is that this was only a ‘private’ app, but got popular so I put it on the app store. Will try to shrink it. The Google API client must be the reason. ---

Yes it does use some memory, but this is not only based on the amount of modules. ‘someting’ is happening here… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/9/493754b8a6e0d3486bca942ae7c1b54a6f09c225.png) ---

Does your app use timer (`setInterval/setTimeout`) or `EventEmitter`? Those are typically good candidates for memory leaks. ---

I have this sleep function ``` async sleep(ms: number) { return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms)); } ``` Is this a candidate for memory leak ? ---

No, that should be fine. ---

Kind’a fixed the memory footprint … Replaced the big google complete library with the google sheet only version. Just be exited for the next version … test version here : [Easy Logger | Homey](https://homey.app/no-no/app/no.bwa.easy-logger/Easy-Logger/test/) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/804b44a7a90e5960e906b383d9d978cddcdadace.png) ---

Had to revert the test version, found some bugs. ---

If the bugs are fixed and the memory consumption is in a normal range for such an app (Athom’s Google Sheet app consumes about 10 MB), then I’ll give the app a second chance. 👍🏻 ---

v1.4.3 is out in test [Easy Logger | Homey](https://homey.app/no-no/app/no.bwa.easy-logger/Easy-Logger/test/) ---

@DirkG If you want to test the app I’m interested to see if the date and number format is working outside Norway. Not so easy to test. ---

Installed the v1.4.3 version and made some small tests: **Short summary:** - in my opinion, the app still needs a lot of memory consumption (ca. 13-28 MB) - Action card _ **Create a sheet** _ works ✅ - Action card _ **Append multicell items in spreadsheet…** _ doesn’t work at all (same spreadsheet like above).❗ Tried it with: – numeric tag only – with _ **#** _ in front of the numeric tag – with _ **@NoDate** _ in front of the numeric tag – with _ **@NoDate|#** _ in front of the numeric tag ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c3b49af1690f5ef6d61c8c58ebaff4f3ab84f1df.png) I haven’t tried the other cards. ---

set debugmode see [4. Configure the Easy Logger App - Homey Easy Logger - Confluence](https://wiki.bwa.no/display/HEL/4.+Configure+the+Easy+Logger+App) and send me a diagnostic trace I can try to see what’s happening. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/easy-logger-app-paused/75971.md?page=2)
