[warning] - [2023/11/08 15:15:56] - PHP failed to process this task. We will lower the memory usage and try again... (9/10)

[critical] - [2023/11/08 15:16:07] - Sorry, a task failed too many times and the process cannot proceed.

Notice it gets all of the uploads files (81470/81470) but then gets stuck after that. I have lowered the processing settings way down, but that shouldn’t be necessary, as this is a dedicated server, not shared, and has plenty of resources. I also added this to wp-config.php, which was recommended somewhere in the FAQs, I believe: define('WPSTG_MEMORY_EXHAUST_FIX', true);

What can I do? I have access to the server and could make php.ini changes, if necessary. Memory limit is already set to 256M.

Thanks for any help!
