I just ran the command openclaw channels list, and the resource usage is shown below:

<img width="821" height="224" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f9a0bac7-7781-4254-9914-56d44ccdd55d" />

When I ran openclaw channels status --probe --timeout 8000 --json, the resource usage is shown below:

<img width="780" height="226" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5bfe4940-28db-4610-9654-dcfb5a725659" />

My current version is: v2026.4.7 My local server configuration: 4C8G

I need to use these commands for debugging, but I'm concerned they might cause an OOM on my machine. Could you help look into this? Thanks!
