Illustrator is crashing when I use blend tool (for example)

[Kustenklar]

Hi,

I'm about to implode. 

Illustrator crashes when I use the blend tool (for example). I have updated all Adobe apps I'm using, there should also be enough space on my iMac. I use Ventura 13.3.1, and the latest version of Illustrator. What more can I do?

How complex is the artwork? Can you please show a screeshot that includes the layers panel with layer opened.

From what I understand, this is a common effect to use. I create a blend between some circles and apply them to a path. This is my RAM status:

Ok. I was told 16 should be more than enough but I guess not then.
