PG 14.13 on RHEL 8.10

max_files_per_process is the default 1000.

Currently, many connection processes are hovering around 990 open files.

Does PG purposefully close some unused files when getting near the max?  Would we see benefits to increasing max_files_per_process as well as running "ulimit -n 2500" (and then of course restarting PG).

I don't see any "too many open files" errors in the log file, but am trying to plan ahead.
