Adobe After Effects using up all my RAM using more than the allocated RAM

[Tyler25977906ms4k]

Hello there, I allocated my After Effects 20gb of ram and it is currently using 21GB.

It is using more than the allocated RAM, and even when I lower the Allocated ram, the ram usage doesn't decrease. 

Right now my pc has 32 gb of ram and 96% is being used up.

Standard answer: Update your system drivers and check the settings. 99.9% of the time this has nothing to do with the program itself, but with incompatible drivers or botched configurations.

Can you describe the project you are seeing this with? Do you have plugins/effects in the project?
