Docker containers stops responding after a certain period, requiring Docker Desktop restart

I’m running into an issue where all the running docker containers stops responding after a certain period, requiring me to restart them. I’ve tried restarting Docker to fix the problem, but it failed with the error message below:

“running engine: waiting for the Docker API: engine linux/virtualization-framework failed to run: running VM: com.docker.virtualization: process terminated unexpectedly: accept unix /Users/xxxx/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/virtualization.sock: use of closed network connection”

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Docker Desktop running version 4.33.0 (160616) on Mac mini
MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Maybe the disk is full?

Thank you for your response. The disk is not full in this case.
