Today I woke up to my alarm as usual, but noticed my phone didnt let me use fingerprint id because it seemed to restart by itself while I was asleep, didnt thought much of it, but after changing my clothes I noticed it got a bit laggy, then very laggy and then just straight up unoperational because of the lag, so it rebooted itself, this has never happened before so I found it odd, then when it finished rebooting same thing happened, but this time I noticed in my phones health thing widget that out of my 12gb RAM, 8 were being used, which doesnt make any sense because I had no apps running, so I cleared the RAM in the memory settings, but it still read as if, now 10, out of the 12gb were being used, by this time the phone started lagging, and rebooted itself.

This cycle of the phone being fine for about 2 minutes then progressibly using more unknown RAM continued for 3 times, now I dont know what to do because I really need my phone for college and I cant find any reason for this behavior.

As some clarification, my phone hasnt fallen recently, maybe the last time was like 2 months ago, also I dont have any APKS nor have I downloaded anything suspicious from the internet nor entered any dangerous websites (I have just been doing some pdf downloads for school but I dont think any of those were virus). Also I usually dont use my phone in a hard way, usually using 7gb of RAM and I have aprox 170gb out of 512gb of storage. Btw Im currently writing this from my laptop

This all happened so suddenly and I dont know what to do, any advise on whats wrong or what could I do to fix this please.

Note: English isnt my first language so any grammatical errors are because of it.
