HASS OS becomes unresponsive / then almost unusable / and is finally dead - starting every ~ 10 hours after last HA start

Hi!
I was having the same problems that froze my raspberry pi (raspberry pi 3b 1 gb RAM with SSD).
Reading in the forums I tried to increase the size of the swap file. I followed the instructions given at the link

How to increase the swap file size on Home Assistant OS

Increasing the swapfile size (especially on a USB SSD attached to my test RPi 3B) is pretty typical when trying to get a Linux box to perform and generally be more stable… After hanging around on this GitHub issue and watching the progress, I believe there’s a simple and repeatable way to increase the swapfile size. This solution will survive reboots and upgrades. You also never have to actually open the shell itself. Please keep in mind that this is strictly for HA OS not Raspberry Pi OS aka…

I also created an automation to restart the home assistant host at night.
This solved my problems (iI am convinced that increasing the swap file is sufficient, reboot the host empties the swap file but 2 gb is a lot…).

The idea came to me by creating a system monitor and noticing that the system freezes when the ram ran out and the swap file got saturated
