MySQL “Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool” at 73% memory usage

I am hosting a WordPress website on a DigitalOcean droplet (1GB RAM). The website's MySQL database crashes occasionally, which causes the website to show "Error establishing database connection". Memory usage dropped around 2:40 am, indicating that this is when the database crashed. I checked the MySQL log file for that day, and the earliest entry was at 10:47 am. Here is the beginning of the log file:

Based on the log file, it appears MySQL is running out of memory. However, memory usage for the droplet was steady around 73%, until the database crash around 2:40 am, when it dropped down to 32%. It seems to have plenty of memory available, so why is it crashing?
