That happens probably because you are out of RAM memory. Try increasing it on the pc you're using to run the code! That same error happened to me some while ago, althought i had 32 RAM, i was running 6 sessions at the same time.

How do I increase the ram used by my code?

[Nypat]

adding more RAM to your pc

or try closing everything else your pc is running, leaving just the code with the whatsapp sesison

I have solved the error by adding "--disable-dev-shm-usage" to the args of puppeteer

@mraydok const client = new Client({ puppeteer: { args: ["--no-sandbox", "--disable-dev-shm-usage"], }, authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), });

I doesn't work for me, still got Out of memory, i have 16GB ram and nothing else opened. Task Manager reports only 36% memory usage...

Running on a Server with 64GB of Ram, basic whatsapp with few chats nothing crazy, go to "out of memory error" after some hours. What can i do to fix this?

At least catching the error would be a nice solution but seems to freeze when going out of memory.

Can someone help?

By the way for anyone having this type of problem the only solution that i found is to put headless: False on puppeteer settings, this solve the problem.

@fedebartoli even with headless set to false, the QR code is received but the client never gets connected on my device.
