Hi,
Troubleshoot SCR:

Hi SMTP25,
Per my known, by design, in DAG environment the active database keep 100 MB of cache, please refer to below:

In my opinion, it maybe the reason.

Hi SMTP 25,
It seems an odd issue, I would suggest you open a ticket from MS, you would get more help.
Otherwise, I would check the checkpoint log, and cut away the log older than the checkpoint, and then make a test, however, it is recommended that to escalate it.
Regards!
