Is memory.limit() broken?

I run memory.limit() on my 48G Windows 10 machine and it returned 1.759219e+13. This is head scratching. I am using R 3.6.1.

Is memory.limit() broken? Any other way to obtain memory limit?

Here is my sessionInfo():

You can use disk.frame::df_ram_size() instead. It works on Windows 10 with RStudio and R 3.6.1.

You can install disk.frame using install.packages("disk.frame")

This is an issue with RStudio (hopefully fixed in the next update). It works well in RGui.
