What happens if memory runs out?

The tab may reload and lose the recording, which is why splitting is safer.

Does pausing save memory?

Pausing adds nothing while paused, but the earlier audio stays in memory.

Which format is smallest?

WebM or M4A; WAV is about ten times larger.

How Long Can a Voice Recorder Record? Time Limit

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): There is no fixed time limit. The recording is kept in your device's memory until you download it, so very long sessions use more and more memory, which older phones handle worse than computers. For anything longer than about an hour, stop, download and start a new part. Keep the screen on and the tab open the whole time.
