Unable to Open Anything Maximum Number of Clients Reached

Desktop Environments XFCE
1

It’s been an issue that comes and goes recently, but wasn’t there before. The issue resolves by itself after some time. When I try to launch a program I get the following(example with gyazo):

Maximum number of clients reached
import: unable to open X server ':0.0': Resource temporarily unavailable @ error/xwindow.c/XImportImage/4918.
import:  `/tmp/image_upload185978.png' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/1289

I ran lsof -U and got a rerally long list, way too long for me to post here. It mostly said stream CONNECTED so I’m not too sure what all this means.

Perhaps this is of interest:

It’s not my expertise - only trying to help.

Looks like a steam issue, probably why it keeps restarting.
