You should try to close your terminal and redo it. Or directly try it in your shell which runs mongodb.

  1. Close the running MonogoDB

  2. Run the following bash code:

    sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 65536 65536
sudo launchctl limit maxproc 2048 2048
ulimit -n 65536
ulimit -u 2048

  3. Close the terminal or bash and restart.

  4. run ulimit -n in terminal to test if change successfully
