Pylance: Error: EMFILE: too many open files

[jajcayn]

• VS Code Version: 1.53.1; Commit: 5d424b8
• OS Version: macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H512)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. open python workspace in VSCode with pylance as the language server
2. I have only three open files and already getting this error

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
No, since this is happening with pylance, however, pylance was not recently updated, but VSCode was, so I think it's a VSCode issue

I started getting this error yesterday, after update to VSCode 1.53.1; before it was fine. At first I tried to exclude folder like logs or build from search etc, but this didn't help. Before yesterday, I could open much larger workspace without any problems, no set excludes, everything just worked. Now even for rather small workspaces I am getting this error.

Thanks!

I am sorry, right now I found the same issue directly in the Pylance repository (microsoft/pylance-release#936)
