Memory is controlled in the config. Thus, your instance limited as it says. You can either look in your redis.conf or from the CLI Tool issue "config get maxmemory" to get the limit.

If you manage this Redis instance, you'll need to consult and adjust the config file. Usually looked for in /etc/redis.conf or /etc/redis/redis.conf.

If you are using a Redis provider you will need to get with them about increasing your limit.
