When does this happen?

IF LiteLLM proxy memory consumption grows unboundedly leading to OOM kills in containerized environments.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable MAX_REQUESTS_BEFORE_RESTART to a suitable value (e.g., 1000) to force a restart after processing that many requests, preventing memory exhaustion. This is a temporary workaround until the root cause is fixed. The variable is available in LiteLLM v1.77.7 and later.

MAX_REQUESTS_BEFORE_RESTART=1000
