# Troubleshoot Percent Memory limit issue
14+
15+
This article provides guidance on addressing the Percent Memory limit issue in Azure App Service.
16+
17+
## Symptom
18+
19+
You see the message "Worker Process requested recycle due to 'Percent Memory' limit"
20+
21+
## Cause
22+
23+
The maximum available amount of memory for a 32-bit process (even on a 64-bit operating system) is 2 GB. By default, the worker process is set to 32-bit in App Service (for compatibility with legacy web applications).
24+
25+
## Resolution
26+
27+
Consider switching to 64-bit processes so you can take advantage of the additional memory available in your Web Worker role. This action triggers a web app restart, so schedule accordingly.
28+
29+
Also note that a 64-bit environment requires a Basic or Standard service plan. Free and Shared plans always run in a 32-bit environment.
