[Bug]: Request used more than 300 MB of RAM: 288 MB

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

I have a warning in my logging panel which says:

Request used more than 300 MB of RAM: 288 MB

Which is weird, because I consider 288 MB to be less than 300 MB.

Steps to reproduce

This issue is hard to reproduce as this warning occurs infrequently.

Expected behavior

I expect the warning to not show up or show up with numerical values in which the request in fact used more than 300 MB of RAM.
