Safari: no space left on device

Hi,

since the upgrade to MacOS Monterey I am getting always the error message in Safari that I have no space left on the device. This mostly only happens when I have two or more tabs open.

My hard drive has currently over 300GB free space and my iCloud more than 1.5TB; not sure where I need to allocate more space.

My device(s):

happens both on 2019 16inch MacBookPro and 2020 27inch IMAC
both devices are on the latest version of Monterey 12.0.1
both devices have over 300GB of free space on hard drive

This error message also only comes on Safari; do not have issues with any other Application.

Using Chrome now mostly, but would like to switch back to Safari (however Chrome works fine and is stable and with Safari I cannot open more than one tab currently)

Thanks

Alex

The issue is SO persistent on my M1 MacBook Air! I tried every solution I could find and made sure that the system and Safari are the latest, but none of that worked. I'm having ~50 websites opened at the same time, is this too many? I never had this issue before upgrading to Monterey. This is REALLY REALLY painful to fail to open a website and see the error again and again, and I don't want to use Chrome b/c of this issue! Plz resolve this Apple! This never happened in my ten-year experience of using a Mac! Thanks!
