Maybe you have a swap file that happens to be 16GB ?

I only allowed 4G for swap, maybe arch enabled zram and it used 8GB by default and I actually don't need to create a swap partition?

Arch doesn't really do anything you don't tell it to do during installation.
That's the entire point. After installing Arch, you know what your system does, cause you configured it.
