Of course you’re right and you really want to avoid getting to GC thrashing. IMO people still miss the old +UseGCOverheadLimit on the new GCs.

That said trying to enforce overhead limits with RSS limits also won’t end well. Java doesn’t make guarantees around max allocated but unused heap space. You need something like this: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/10060cd638027975480... - but I have rarely seen something like that in production.
