count_matrix = count.fit_transform(off_data3['bag_of_words'])

I have count_matrix shape with

count_matrix.shape (476147, 482824)

cosine_sim = cosine_similarity(count_matrix, count_matrix)

I think the matrix size is too big to cause this memory error

Any tips to avoid this memory error when You have large matrix?

It's not clear to me what is your data and what you are trying to do with it, but from what I gather you are trying to calculate cosine similarity for each pair in a cartesian product, right?

If yes then you might want to use "blocking" to reduce the number of comparisons, see https://datascience.stackexchange.com/a/54582/64377.
