These are independent fixes, the PR on this moves from immediate alerts to 15m threshold while that may not fix the problem overall it does address the issues as described in the bug so re-opening and moving back to ON_QA. We'll see new bugs coming down from the change from 90% to 95% in the future but that's likely to be weeks out.

I have a customer already in OpenShift 4.6.44, but still having this kind of issue. It's a new installed cluster, barely no customer's application yet. The node's memory is 128G total, the memory usage is about 10Gi during last 24hrs. But the SystemMemoryExceedsReservation alert triggered 7 times.
Customer is currently on 4.6.45, but still observing this issue on one node: # free -g total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 62 15 17 0 29 46 Swap: 0 0 0 # oc describe node Allocated resources: (Total limits may be over 100 percent, i.e., overcommitted.)
