Will the 4GB heap size limit ever be increased?

Hi claudio

@claudio

currently used by the canister

@rossberg

As for the rts values: memory_size is the current size of the Wasm memory array (mostly the same as the canister memory size). This can only grow, never shrink in Wa

Thank you, claudio, for the reply. If i understand correctly, the value of rts_memory_size keeps on increasing based on how much a canister use. I did test this on Motoko Playground and keep inserting 1 million Nats, and everytime the heap_size about to reach the memory_size, the memory_size increased, which is behaving as what you guys described.

So does this mean if i want to get how filled my canister is, i should rts_heap_size divide with 4294967296. If so, then this heap size limit is fixed forever yes? Also thanks for correcting me that it’s 4 GiB, not 4GB.
