Correct answer: Decrease the value of maxmemory-reserved..
Why this is the answer
Decreasing maxmemory-reserved frees up more memory for the cache itself, allowing Redis to store more data. The maxmemory-reserved setting specifies the amount of memory, in MB, reserved for non-cache operations like replication backlog and internal Redis data structures. If this value is too high, it reduces the memory available for storing actual cached items. Increasing maxmemory-reserved would reduce the memory available for caching. Setting the Maxmemory policy to noeviction or volatile-lru changes how Redis handles memory limits when reached, but doesn't directly increase the total memory available for caching. To make more memory available for serving reads, you need to adjust the reserved memory.
