Every tab you have open on the SAFE Browser (like a website or the Authenticator) fills 1 spot on one of the proxy_nodes. The commit below frees that spot when you close a tab on the browser.
There is also an ongoing effort to have the browser automatically free all safe_app objects allocated by a web app using the DOM API, either when its tab is closed or when the page is refreshed. This should solve several problems people are experiencing at the moment with reaching the limit of number of clients. We are aiming to solve this by early next week as we discovered it’s a bit tricky to find a way to uniquely identify the tab/page that is effectively initialising a SAFE App instance, as it can be done from a non-active tab.
Looks like this is the fix.
