Thanks for the report. Do you have more precise repro steps, maybe a sample project on GitHub or compose file etc. to reproduce the problem? We haven't seen this error in our CI.

Could you upload diagnostics, please? See https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/troubleshoot/#diagnose-and-feedback

Just in case the diagnostics fails (because of too many open files), could you try
This should list all the open files making it easier to spot where the leak is.

I am having the same issue with M1 CPUs when I create a Kind cluster with about 40 pods.

I encounter this issue when deploying a k3d cluster with a similar number of pods including a live-reloading NodeJS application with many open files.
Again, this issue is not present in previous releases. I believe it to be a misconfiguration of the VM's Linux kernel.

Just fyi, looks like we have the same issue when running kind and a few more containers. (kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api#5940). I think it probably also occurs when running a few kind clusters.
@killianmuldoon posted a workaround on our issue: kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api#5940 (comment)

We've released Docker Desktop 4.5.0 which fixes this issue.
