Cannot open console

Trying to open the console on any VM of a vmware esxi 6.7 host (either web of VMRC, it's the same), I get this error

You have reached the maximum number of connected consoles: 40. Please contact your administrator

But I'm sure no one has an open console.

How can this be fixed ?

Some people with similar issues were able to connect with other browsers or removing cookies, etc of the browser.

Can you try that? New browser or incognito mode in the one you have.

Other thing, are you in the same network than the esxi? Ports may be blocked

I've tried from multiple computers and multiple browser, all on the same local network, the error is always the same.
