 * Hi [@w411](https://wordpress.org/support/users/w411/),
 * This happens on some shared hosting environments. We get the used memory with
   the standard `ini_get('memory_limit')` function. And if this function returns-
   1 MB this is what we show. We really don’t know another way to retrieve this 
   data.
 * Have you installed any other plugin that shows this correctly? That would be 
   a great help for us to trace how they retrieve this value.
 * Sorry that we can’t help you this time.
 * Best regards from Spain.

 * That particular install is on a VPS with WPMU Dev which is not shared hosting,
   they use a managed version of Digital Ocean droplets for each website.
 * Oddly, I disabled all other plugins, the information was reported correctly, 
   and after I activated the other plugins one by one the information was still 
   being reported correctly.
 * If it happens again I will try disabling one by one until the error is corrected
   to get a better idea of which plugin could be causing the problem.

 * Hello [@w411](https://wordpress.org/support/users/w411/) !
 * I trust you’re doing well today!
 * In this case if that happens on the WPMU DEV server, a possible thing to do here
   is to clear the Object Cache in the Tools tab on the Hub.
 * Warm regards,
    Pawel

 * When memory-limit is set to -1, that is a special value: it means that there 
   is no restriction as to how much PHP is allowed to allocate. Calculating a percentage
   doesn’t make sense in this case.
 * (The real memory limit could only be tried out … e.g. running such a script in
   WP-Cron : [https://gist.github.com/thonixx/6334619](https://gist.github.com/thonixx/6334619))

 * Hi,
 * Just to make it clear (in relation to what [@benjamin4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benjamin4/)–
   correctly – explained): we don’t use such value as “-1” on WPMU DEV servers. 
   There’s a fixed value set for memory_limit but not -1, unless user set it so 
   via the .user-ini file. It would still be “filtered” to the maximum allowed by“
   overall” configuration of the hosting plan anyway.
 * Kind regards,
    Adam

 * Yes that might be a plugin trying to set memory_limit to -1.
