research memory not sufficient to load backtest in pyfolio

Hi,

I needed to run pyfolio on a backtest from 2007 to 2017 but research memory is not sufficient to load the backtest. How do I address this?

Best regards,
Pravin

Pravin, you can generally halt your existing notebooks to free up memory. We have sometimes seen a bug where the memory isn't properly freed up. When you stop all of the notebooks in your account, what is the percentage of memory in use?

Dan, thanks for your reply. When I halt all notebooks in my account it shows 2% of memory in use.

By the way here is the backtest id 58c17a59364afb634571084a

It runs out of memory after loading 36% of the backtest.
