I'm working on a reasonably large project, and recently had to bump the nofile setting above 500,000. I tried to change it to five million in /etc/security/limits.d/99-users-nofile.conf, but afterwards I was no longer allowed to log in. After seeing other people having the same issue I ended up booting from an alternative medium and changing the value back, but I'm none the wiser about what the actual maximum nofile value is.
