when the free memory is below defined maximum value

 this is the problem, this  statement is veiled in double negatives

When a quantity is below a "Maximum" value then this is should be

when a quantity exceeds a Maximum value this should be considered an error
condition

but this is not the case - when free memory falls below the threshold of
MaxFreeMemoryforOverUtlized we are overutilized
