Why does CleanMyMac keep saying M1 out of memory?

Why do I keep getting this message ever since getting my new M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB Ram?
Your message is generated by CleanMyMac, correct?...
Are you actually having a problem with anything except CleanMyMac?
What does CleanMyMac support say about that?
(Maybe they will offer to send you the "latest beta" of CMM?)
But, seriously, I would like to point the "finger of shame" at a utility like CleanMyMac, but that doesn't really address your question.
Truth is, there's still some issues with Monterey, and one of those is problems with memory leaks.
I am hopeful that an update to the system will help, or completely eliminate the memory problems in Monterey.
Could be fixed in 12.3, or 12.4
You COULD "quit any applications that you are not using", check for better use after the next update to Monterey. Regardless of what I read sometimes on these forums, Apple does occasionally fix stuff...

I have not contacted CleanMyMac yet - not noticing any problems other than the CMM message that keeps reappearing. Even comes up after a restart with just Safari open.Your message is generated by CleanMyMac, correct?...

I'm sure that you have checked this, but the current version of CleanMyMac that I see is 4.10.1 - released just last week?
Is that what you have?
If you are completely up-to-date on CMM - could still be an issue with CMM. Maybe CMM is just reporting what it sees as out of memory, and might be accurate, given some of the current reports about Monterey.
You say "just Safari open" -- you may want to dig a bit deeper on that.
When you get the message, what do you see in your Activity Monitor/Memory tab? You can sort the list by memory usage

That is the version of CMM that I have - previous version was also giving me same messages.
Have not checked Activity Monitor - will do that next time.

I'd uninstall cleanmymac. Done.
I actually had it installed and found it completely useless.
Of course, your mileage may vary, but I don't understand what for you are keeping it.

I've been having similar issues. My Activity Monitor is showing a great deal more than yours is in this screenshot, but I have several tabs open, and a few apps. Nothing that my 16GB standard RAM MacBook Pro couldn't have handled. But I keep getting this /incredibly/ annoying message from CMM. My theory (and it is just that) is that CMM doesn't understand unified RAM, and so is saying it's full when it's - well, it IS, but it's handled differently, so it's not "full" in the way standard ram would be at the same threshold. I've tried quitting all apps, shutting the machine down and restarting is with nothing running. Once I open one or two things, I get the CMM popup. No way should a brand new machine have that kind of memory issue...
Your original post was almost a year ago; I'd love to know what you've learned in the interim!
