If you’re not using Docker there’s no such thing as a memory restriction. The setting in AMP controls the maximum heap size for Java, but the Java process has overheads beyond that. This is normal and expected behaviour.

The total amount of memory the process has allocated and the amount of physical RAM it occupies are different things, AMP reports the former because it’s what’s important. If you turn on ‘Simplified metrics’ then it reports the latter.
