Hi Mohamed,

It looks like AE doesn’t like memory management limits below 20%. From the log, it appears that you enabled memory management in the the submission window and set both values to 1%. Try bumping these up to at least 20% and submit again to see if that helps. We didn’t realize that AE had a minimum for these values, so we’ll update our submitter accordingly in the next release to prevent users from being able to specify values lower than 20%.

Cheers,

  • Ryan
