Azure App Service plan stuck at 77% memory usage, even though the single app on it is using 160mb

I currently have a single, small razor pages app running on a B1 Linux App Service plan. The web app itself is only using 160mb of memory, but I noticed the plan is stuck at about 77% usage. I tried all the troubleshooting steps I found on forum posts and using the diagnostic tools on Azure, but I couldn't find the solution. When I SSHed into my App Service and checked the running processes, memory usage was listed at 77% also, but the only processes I could see consuming memory was my app, and it was only using 10% for the app itself and its monitoring process.

    Hi Omar,

    The B1 series is really basic (1 core).

    Just to run the service I'm taking an educated guess that it requires this much compute just to run the service and its basic necessities (OS, services).

    Try bumping it to a different service plan and see if the usage changes.
