 ### New
 
+- The daemon now uses systemd's default `LimitNOFILE`. In earlier versions of
+  Docker Engine, this limit was set to `infinity`. This would cause issues with
+  recent versions of systemd, where the hard limit was increased, causing
+  programs that adjusted their behaviors based on ulimits to consume a high
+  amount of memory. [moby/moby#45534](https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/45534)
+
+  The new setting makes containers behave the same way as programs running on
+  the host, but may cause programs that make incorrect assumptions based on the
+  soft limit to misbehave. To get the previous behavior, you can set
+  `LimitNOFILE=1048576`.
+
+  This change currently only affects build containers created with `docker
+  build` when using BuildKit with the `docker` driver. Future versions of
+  containerd will also use this limit, which will cause this behavior to affect
+  all containers, not only build containers.
+
+  If you're experiencing issues with the higher ulimit in systemd v240 or later,
+  consider adding a system `drop-in` or `override` file to configure the ulimit
+  settings for your setup. The [Flatcar Container Linux documentation](https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/setup/systemd/drop-in-units/)
+  has a great article covering this topic in detail.
