GAE basic scaling override memory limit

I am a cloud noob. I have a node application with GAE. I am using basic scaling to serve up the requests. I have specified instance class B4_1G which has memory limit of 2048mb.(https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard#second-gen-runtimes) The application is supposed to perform DOM scraping using Cheerio on some extremely large HTML files. This works well until the HTML that I need to scrape is beyond huge. Then I start getting memory error in logs : Exceeded hard memory limit of 2048 MB with 2052 MB after servicing 1 requests total. Consider setting a larger instance class in app.yaml.

Is there any way I can override the memory limit to say 4096mb or even more? Setting the resources additionally in app.yaml did not seem to help.

Any help or pointers appreciated. Thank you.

The link you provided shows the support instance sizes.

If you need more than 2 GB of memory you will need to switch to App Engine Flexible or a Compute Engine instance.
