"Too Many Open Files" Crash

Not sure how to diagnose on linux yet. I have no idea where to start.

Every once in a while I get an error "Too Many Open Files" and most of my programs crash and I can no longer open any of them. Restarting fixes it. I assume there is some program that isn't releasing files after using them and causing the pc to melt down. Something like a RAM leak.

The only time I am using my pc long enough is when I am recording footage.

The apps running when the crash happens are:
Open WIndow:
- OBS (Flatpak+several plugins)
- Mission Center
- Files
- Steam + any game
Background:
- VPN
- Syncthingy (Flatpak)
