What is the maximum number of unix domain socket that linux can manage in parallel, besides the file descriptor limit that we can change? Some Os have a limit https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ztpf/1.1.0.15?topic=considerations-unix-domain-sockets

I am getting Too many open files os error.I didn't reach the NOFILE Limit.
