"Your Computer is Low on Memory" To free up some memory, please close a few applications.

I have a 2019 Mac, with 1 tb, 16gb ram and an I9 8core processor, I have apple pages open (1) and pdf (1), Mail App only, yet I keep getting the message "your computer is low on memory" and I click the close button but is does not go away, but appears to time out after a few moments. There is no traffic light option in the corner to close, minimise or expand.


Please advise, urgently


Thank you Adrianna
