The store is a per-request, per-draft-layer bf16 pool holding K and V, so its size is `tokens x num_draft_layers x num_kv_heads x head_dim x 2 x 2` bytes per concurrent request, and the runner builds ONE PER BATCH ROW — so what the device holds is that number times `--max-num-seqs`, and `gpu_memory_utilization` accounts NONE of it. The default budget is therefore the AGGREGATE rather than a per-request allowance: a 262144-token `--max-model-len` would ask for about a gigabyte per request, and unbounded device residency has OOM-rebooted a box here ([#1647](https://github.com/mudler/vllm.cpp/issues/1647)).

A request whose context passes the limit keeps running WITHOUT speculation, on the target alone — never refused, and never fatal: before [#1919](https://github.com/mudler/vllm.cpp/issues/1919) the store was a fixed 4096 slots unrelated to `--max-model-len`, and the first prompt above it threw from inside an EngineCore step and left the server answering `[request submitted to a stopped AsyncLLM]` for every later request.
