Mailer aborting while processing digests

Digests 3.3.18 phpbb 3.3.11 php 7.4
This morning I'm getting errors every hour but I'm not sure where to look for the problem or what resources to increase. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to email digests for date 2024-05-08 hour 5 UTC. Execution time: 48.83 of 0 allowed seconds. 14.01 MB of memory was used. A total of 180 digests were emailed, 0 digests were skipped and 1 hours were processed before the mailer was aborted.

Ending digests mailer abnormally. There are insufficient system resources to continue running digests. Error was triggered while creating a digests for “121TORREON” for hour 5 UTC. You may need to upgrade your hosting to reliably send all digests.

The error message is actually pretty descriptive. You ran out of computing resources and your web host abruptly cut you off in what was likely a long run of digests. What the resource you ran out of is hard to say: could be you hit a memory limit, a MySQL query limit. Your web host may be able to analyze further and would probably like to sell you a plan with more resources. In general it's not a good idea to set up digests for everyone but to let people opt in.

There is a reset mailer function in the ACP that will remove any queue of digests that may have developed and let you start fresh with the next hour.
