[Crash]: unable to create native thread: possibly out of memory or process/resource limits reached

What happened?

I've set up an ATM10 server running on my homelab. To manage the server, I’m using Pterodactyl on the machine. Currently, this is the only server running. The machine has 16GB of total RAM, with the server allocated 10GB, leaving sufficient overhead to avoid OOM (Out of Memory) issues if the system requires additional resources.

Even though this is a OOM related crash, the ram usage of the machine never maxed out, so I believe it is a thread limit issue.

I first encountered this exact same crash on an older world I was playing on, but since I had the world created since before the 1.0 launch of atm10, I decided that it was better to just attribute it to some weird bugged world gen, so I tried to create a new world to play on, after about 2-4h of playing on it, the crash happened again.

The crash mentions fastasyncworldsave, but I doubt that it is the actual culprit here, I found this issue which seems to be the same crash, but apparently it had nothing to do with the mod.

(I was the only one playing on the server for the entire duration)

most linux distros imposes a limit for how many threads a process can create, fast async world save makes minecraft create a lot of threads and for some this issue has indeed been fixed by disabling fast async world save

[JacubRSTNC]

Pterodactyl sets a limit on how many processes are allowed per container, the default is 512. Once that is reached, this error will occur.

You can fix it by either raising, or full out removing the limit.

Thanks @JacubRSTNC that was exactly what was causing it, it is crazy to me that this config didn't appear in any of my searches. ty
