Welcome to the community kaismax

Have you tried [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-kibanas-memory-limit-wont-change-even-to-default/270197/5)?

I had the same [issue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-increase-kibana-memory/297204/4) a couple of months ago, even opened a ticket with the support but they couldn't reproduce the issue, so there was no solution.

What I needed to do when I was using 7.17 was to edit the Kibana startup script and put the setting directly on the script, the `--max-old-space-size` was hardcoded in the startup script.

Yeah, this was my first solution when I had this issue, changed the `NODE_OPTIONS` into:

> NODE\_OPTIONS="--no-warnings --max-http-header-size=65536 --tls-min-v1.0 $KBN\_NODE\_OPTS $NODE\_OPTIONS" NODE\_ENV=production exec "${NODE}" --max-old-space-size=4096 "${DIR}/src/cli/dist" ${@}

After a couple more of tests, this also worked:

> NODE\_OPTIONS="--no-warnings --max-http-header-size=65536 --tls-min-v1.0 $NODE\_OPTIONS" NODE\_ENV=production exec "${NODE}" $KBN\_NODE\_OPTS "${DIR}/src/cli/dist" ${@}

Just moved the `$KBN_NODE_OPTS` then it correctly sourced the value from the `node.options` file.
