Failed to add to the depth data for F.US.ENQM21, possibly as a result of running out of memory. The depth data accounted for 1.64 gigabytes of memory. Depth data will be unavailable until the chart can be reloaded. | 2021-04-28 14:44:04.879 *

We do see the above from today. Are you running a replay?

As we mentioned earlier, the thing to do is to limit the depth data by lowering the number of days loaded in the chart, minimizing the number of levels displayed in the Market Depth Historical Graph, and we would add limiting the number of levels displayed in the DOM by this setting:
Chart Settings: Maximum Market Depth Levels (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu)

Another option would be to limit the number of levels coming into the system altogether. Since you are running the Denali Exchange Data Feed, you can do this from this setting:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/DataSourceSettings.php#MaxDepthLevels

As we stated previously, we do not know exactly why this occurs, which is why we can't give you a definite answer on how to fix it. We are just trying to minimize the amount of data in order to try and alleviate the issue.
