Cypress crashed with error: JavaScript heap out of memory

Current behavior

I have more than 800 tests running inside Docker/Jenkins.
Docker: cypress/included:9.6.0
A full run of the tests takes approximately 16 hours.
About 90% of the tests fail with an error.

Tests are run via the Cypress Module API inside the Jake.
I tried running tests with a flag for node: node --max-old-space-size=8192 /usr/local/bin/npx jake cypress:run:ci.
It didn't help.
