You’re using the term “performance issue” but the only thing you actually complain about is the memory usage. Your Zammad version is over 12 months old and has security advisories.
Patching in general helps to get rid of bugs, keeping it up to date etc etc.
If that’s not enough arguments for you, then I guess, no, you don’t have to update.
Zammad is not a set and forget piece of software.
Sorry if I’m using the wrong terminology here, but this affects performance, increased CPU causes all operations to stall, and this happens when no one is using it, it always takes up memory, I wondering if upgrading will make it faster and without this error
HTTP/503 is rendered by your proxy server.
The log file of that proxy server will tell you why it threw the error and that’s the part that will help you to find the issue you actually have.
That being said, you should upgrade to a current version (6.2 as of now) to cross out that this is a potential bug underneath on top.
