Redis OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'

Redis has exceeded the configured memory limit and cannot execute the command.
  1. Check current memory usage and maxmemory limit: INFO memory
  2. Identify top memory-consuming keys: MEMORY DOCTOR and MEMORY USAGE <key>
  3. Free up memory:
    • Delete unnecessary keys: DEL key1 key2
    • Use EXPIRE on keys to set a TTL if applicable.
  4. Increase maxmemory limit if possible: CONFIG SET maxmemory <new-limit>
  5. If data eviction is applicable, adjust eviction policy: CONFIG SET maxmemory-policy <policy-name>
