Every 5-7 days Docker throws the following error and the engine + container all become unresponsive: "running engine: engine linux/virtualization-framework failed to run: running VM: com.docker.virtualization: process terminated unexpectedly: accepting AF_VSOCK connection: AF_VSOCK listener closed"

Description

Every 5-7 days Docker Desktop encounters an error wherein it becomes unresponsive along with all containers. I have restarted Docker Desktop, the host machine (Intel Mac Mini), and even done a complete reset of Docker. None of these methods has corrected the issue.

The error is:

running engine: engine linux/virtualization-framework failed to run: running VM: com.docker.virtualization: process terminated unexpectedly: accepting AF_VSOCK connection: AF_VSOCK listener closed

Reproduce

Run Docker Desktop with multiple containers.
Allow 5-7 days to elapse. The error & unresponsiveness triggers at a random point on its own.

Expected behavior

Docker should not become unresponsive.
