Description
Hi,
We have a downsampling task where we are getting the error intermittently 'Memory allocation limit reached'. The downsampling task will aggregate the data from source bucket every one hour and push into the destination bucket and we have scheduled this task to run every one hour with an offset of 2hrs. And sometimes when we run the query from data explorer also getting the same error.


Could you please let us know how to overcome the error.
__Expected behavior:__
Task should complete successfully.
__Actual behavior:__
Task is failing intermittently
InfluxDB version: Cloud 2.0

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the report. Start by reproducing the intermittent failure in the hourly downsampling task and in Data Explorer using the reported InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 setup. Done means the memory allocation error is explained and the task completes successfully, with a regression test or documented reproduction if the project supports one.
