Rclon Plex Config eating 75% of my RAM

Hey People,

I have an Old Laptop, i5 Processor and 4GB RAM. With Plex and PiHole the RAM is already filled like 15-25%

The rest gets eaten by my rclone service, which I use to Mount my Gsuite Cloud in for Plex. It leaves me with permanent buffering, eventhough I'm not even transcoding. I suppose it has to do something with the RAM being at 99% without even playing anything on Plex.

Is there anything I can change to minimize the RAM usage and still be able to watch movies/series? I use some Transcoding if its important.

configs:

$ cat rclone.service

You have it configured to use 256M per open file. You'd want to remove that and most likely just use the default.
