i have a new macbook air about 2 months old (stock, 8 GB memory) running Monterrey).
i transferred all my data/apps from a previous macbook air. things are fine except about a month ago, something strange started happening.
a few of my apps started closing randomly without warning, but never when i'm using them.
only when my computer goes to sleep or i'm not paying attention and suddenly i find the app closed.
this happens periodically throughout the day. it mostly happens with Mail app and Numbers app. sometimes (but not often) Safari.
i have a lot of apps open, perhaps it's a memory issue? i have a mere 8 GB of memory (i know, i would have gotten more but at the time that was all that was available). but it never happened with my old macbook air that had 8 GB of memory also.
any thought on what it could be?
How is the " Empty Space Available" situation on the new computer.
Applications suddenly closing for no apparent reason and no error message pop up could be an indication of Lack of Empty Space on the Internal Drive.
Good computer practices is keeping at least 15% of the Drive Total Capacity as Empty Space for good operations of the computer and for additional updates to Monterey to download, expand and install.

The final word from Apple on Managing the " Other " Category
Other: Contains files that don’t fall into the categories listed here. This category primarily includes files and data used by the system, such as log files, caches, VM files, and other runtime system resources. Also included are temporary files, fonts, app support files, and plug-ins. You can't manage the contents of this category. The contents are managed by macOS, and the category varies in size depending on the current state of your Mac.
