8GB is really small for Fusion. It's incredible that the system is able to load so much/ so fast onto the SSD in the first place.
You might want to watch out as there have been reports of SSDs quickly deteriorating in the new M1 macs because they have to use the SSD very quickly for memory. RAM and VRAM are shared, too.
Minimum specs for Fusion are usually 32GB RAM.
That being said, if you are playing the clip fine on loop and suddenly it stops because the memory is full, then this could potentially show a memory leak, or memory clearing issues. Resolve and Fusion Studio do have known issues (or at least many reports) with clearing VRAM.
Edit: in that case you should prepare a bug report for Blackmagic, including a Resolve log.
If you are using Resolve Studio, you might want to use Fusion Studio (the standalone version) instead. You'll clear some overhead from the rest of resolve and gain a little stability. You'll loose the Render cache, but you should have about 30% more memory available without Resolve.
