The out of memory message is a libshout error, it doesn't necessarily
correspond with the virtual memory of the process, as there are several
safeguards against runaway memory allocations.  The 29% CPU indicates
that the instances are still doing the encoding, and as file writes are
ok then it looks more like a libshout issue.

Usually with this sort of error, something occurs (eg cron job) that
triggers something like a CPU/network saturation/outage, that looks to
be affecting libshout.  It's unlikely to be a multiple CPU issue.

I've received it, thanks
