Error: "Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory. ID: -108" in Illustrator v25.4 on M1 Mac

Question

I keep getting a pop-up giving me the error message that there isn't enough memory (ID:- 108 whatever that means) and am stuck. It's a new Macbook Pro M1 plus there are no other programs running. 
 
Been getting more issues with Illustrator on the new Mac than it did on my old Macbook Pro 16 GB from 2018.

Yes, the error only occured with a specific file I was working on. It was saved on my system HD and was pretty small in size (under 100 MB).

I copied the layers to a new file and started over and the issue didn't come up so it was with the file itself. Won't be able to share the file though because I deleted it after. Will try to re-create the issue to understand it better.
