New M1 Mini/Luna memory in the red

[S_Masoner]

Just got my M1 Mini today (BS 11.6.1), and I’ve been installing plug-ins for what seems to be an eternity.
I pulled up a couple Luna sessions, they played back perfectly, but I noticed that LUNA’s memory meter is pegged in the red, saying 150 to 160%. I read a couple of posts from some users that are seeing the same thing, and it doesn’t seem to be affecting playback.
I’m guessing I don’t need to be too worried about it, right?

Correct. It's actually just a fault in the memory meter.

Yay! I feel better now, Thanks Drew

Using same setup... yeah memory pegged but no issues at all here. I did have a plugin with a runaway memory leak at one point... trust me if memory actually runs out then Big Sur will let you know!

Couple of good things I've found with this new M1, some (most) of my sessions were cooking my old 2012 Mini, temps at idle with LUNA open were around 60c, editing/scrolling during playback would regularly put it up at 98 to 102.
Same session on the M1 idle with LUNA open about 28c, editing/scrolling during playback never above 33c.
Also, render meter is down by about 40%
Happy about all of this.
