I don’t think anyone can predict with certainty if instance won’t crash but there are good chances it will - unless you take remedial actions. If you are not doing subrange repair, a lot of merkle tree data can potentially be scanned/streamed taking toll on memory resources – that , taking account of all other running operations , easily bust available memory.
You can do few things like – as short term measure – increase allotted heap size along with running subrange repair with script<https://github.com/BrianGallew/cassandra_range_repair> or by using reaper tool. You may also want to check partition sizes of tables (nodetool tablestats) if they’re bloated. See if table scans are infested with lots of tombstones which in turn also tax on heap consumption. My $.002 cents for the moment.

Hi Alex, Thanks for your reply. The disk space was around 80%. The crash happened during repair, primary range full repair on 1TB keyspace. Would that crash again?
