Here's a manifest for a Pod that has one container. The container does not specify a memory request, and it does not specify a memory limit.
View detailed information about the Pod
The output shows that the Pod's only container has a memory request of 1 GiB and a memory limit of 1 GiB. How did that container get those values?
Because your Pod did not define any memory request and limit for that container, the cluster applied a default memory request and limit from the LimitRange.
This means that the definition of that Pod shows those values. You can check it using kubectl describe
