To help other community members check if their systems are suffering from this ConnMan file descriptor leak, I have written a diagnostic script. Connect via SSH and create the script:
mkdir -p /storage/.config/scripts
nano /storage/.config/scripts/connman-leak-test.sh
Paste the following code inside the file:
#!/bin/sh
# chmod +x /storage/.config/scripts/connman-leak-test.sh
# /storage/.config/scripts/connman-leak-test.sh
OUTDIR=/storage/.cache/connman-diagnostics-$(date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S)
mkdir -p "$OUTDIR"

Save and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X), then give it execution permissions and run it:
chmod +x /storage/.config/scripts/connman-leak-test.sh
/storage/.config/scripts/connman-leak-test.sh
If you let it run full course or interrupt it, it will provide a direct paste link showing if your system is experiencing un-canceled socket tracking build-ups.
