of course notes count towards the memory limit too. It seems like your world is quite a lot. Why not use a free model from OpenRouter? mistral nemo free has 128K memory!

i tried the AI you recommended and when i started the game it was immediately went over half the memory usage, then on the second in game hour it went 12% negative and had an immediate story restart, BUT after the 2nd in game hour the memory started to stabilize but edging near 0%, but this was still so much better than immediately going 20% negative constantly, this was a great help! thank you so much! i'll try and shorten my world rules and entity/location descriptions as much as i can
something i did notice about this AI model is that it likes to write very short and unhelpful responses that just tell me to select choices
when i set the memory to 121000 suddenly the AI just stopped writing anything, no text no options, i set it back to 3900 and it's still not working, i used the AI in the guide and that also didn't work either, the default AI works, it's just that every other AI doesn't, i followed the guide exactly, using an API token, changing endpoint URL, and copying the model name
OMG, i found the issue to my memory problem, so i was getting rid of a bunch of game rules, cause i tried another world that was bigger than mine but has less game rules and it ran fine, so i made a dupe world and got rid of some game rules and it went pretty well, i got rid of those game rules on the main world but it still had mega memory issues, i then duplicated the main world without changing anything and the duplicate world used almost no memory which was strange but pretty awesome, if anybody has a world they heavily and their memory usage on that world is really large try duplicating the world
edit: i did not fix the memory issue, it went back to being a few hundred over the limit, i shortened it but not enough :(
