Comment (by mavrodinedgjq8):

 It sounds like you're experiencing a memory leak issue in WordPress,
 specifically in the functions.php file at line 818, which handles
 comments. This issue seems to be triggered by a large number of spam
 comments accumulating in the database, eventually exhausting the allocated
 memory and causing PHP errors. A temporary workaround is to manually
 delete the spam comments from the wp_comments table. However, a long-term
 solution would likely involve implementing better spam filtering or
 optimization measures to prevent memory leaks.
