Operation not permitted - Sudo access missing

Hi, I am currently trying to install python3-venv on my runpod instance.
However I am getting bunch of sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE): Operation not permitted messages and ultimately the install finishes with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

However python was not installed. If I try sudo -v it shows:
sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE): Operation not permitted

So it appears as im missing sudo/admin permissions? How can that be and how do I get them.
