After indexing, during compaction, "too many open files" macOS 12.1 Monterey

Upon first running of elects, indexing goes to completion. Then compaction begins. After several minutes the following error occurs:

[2022-01-13T02:23:00.414Z INFO electrs::db] starting config compaction
[2022-01-13T02:23:00.421Z INFO electrs::db] starting headers compaction

I have increased the file limits using:
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=20480
and
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=24576

then run the following to verify:
sysctl -A | grep kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles: 20480
kern.maxfilesperproc: 24576

Run electro again, same problem "Too many open files"

Any suggestions?
thanks...

Sorry for the typos, should of course be electrs, not elects or electro.

I got around this by increasing the file limit with ❯ ulimit --file-descriptor-count 10000 (the number is chosen very arbitrarily). Note that this is only for the currently running process, so it won't persist across terminal windows for example
