I've seen this in the last few weeks but I haven't figured out the
pattern. A test system with 12G RAM was transiently reporting 8.5G RAM
(using the free command). That is the same fractional difference as
you're reporting above - 70% less total memory. That could be a kernel
bug.

The zram-generator sets the zram device size as a fraction of total
memory, it doesn't have a way to affect total memory.
