I believe there is an ulimit for Samba that is separate from the host. And, AFAICT, the default behavior of Samba is to use some hardcoded limit. I've been able to find Linux instructions for configuring Samba to use the host system's ulimit, which is configurable, but I'm not sure how that translates to MacOS.

If you have real time monitoring enabled, try disabling that?
