LunaelaLee on "[Plugin: Page Builder by SiteOrigin] PHP Limit"

I love this plugin - I really really do. After I started to use it I swore that I would do so forever because of the way it beautified my website, saved time and simplified tasks that used to take me hours. I have been using this plugin for quite awhile with no issues until the other day when it suddenly caused only certain pages to stop loading. At first it did not even occur to me that my PHP limit had been reached but after ruling everything else out my hosting company told me that they could not raise my PHP limit enough to meet the requirements of this plugin. Which makes me wonder how much it needs and why this changed. They disabled the plugin without asking me and now all my beautiful pages are broken. Apparently I am supposed to delete it completely and try to reinstall but I am afraid if I remove it altogether all my settings - and months of hard work will be gone. Is there any way for me to continue to use this plugin with my current limit? Maybe a setting of some kind? It worked so well for so long and I can't imagine my website without it. I have other plugins that may use PHP so maybe I should start to consider removing them to make room? How much is this plugin supposed to take?
