v1.20: Indexing memory limit flags seem completelly ignored

Export

## The problem
Issue meilisearch/meilisearch#5931 (closed, 26 comments): **Describe the bug** I made a config file, where I limit the indexing memory and thread, also included experimental memory reducing, but it seems like meili ignores it. See the screenshots below. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a docker compose file with a search container using meilisearch v1.20 2. Create a config file, or set the environment variables to limit indexing resources 3.

## What fixed it
[Kerollmops (maintainer)]: The ignored indexing memory and thread limits were a memory leak, fixed in Meilisearch v1.25.0. If limits seem ignored on v1.20, upgrade to v1.25.0 and leave the experimental env vars unset (NO_EDITION_2024_FOR_FACET_POST_PROCESSING and NO_EDITION_2024_FOR_PREFIX_POST_PROCESSING) so the fix applies cleanly.
