I am having the same issue, but I am not running piwigo from a container, it is installed in an ARM-64bit system. Whenever I try to upload more than 5 images at a time from the android app, the piwigo server becomes unresponsive. I receive an error message that my photos were not uploaded, and around 10 mins later, the piwigo server becomes responsive aggain. I have configured upload limits of more than 1GB in both PHP, NGINx and piwigo itself, and my photos do not exceed 2-5MB each. Also, I use this ARM based server for other network based work, so it is not a network problem. whenever the piwigo server becomes unresponsive, so does nginx, and I have corroborated it as I serve other sites through the same nginx instance and all of them are down. not sure if this has to do with piwigo, mysql, nginx, or a combination.

Edit: I guess this happens because the android app tries to upload all files at once and maybe it overloads the webserver? in that case, can we at least have a workaround of uploading images 1 by 1 from the upload queue in the android app? there could be a knob for that so that we can at least rule out the fact that if you upload 1 by 1 this does not happen. that way at least i know that if I set 100 images to upload, they will be uploaded even if it takes longer.

Reproduced error and found php process limit being hit. Working on fix.

Thanks for the report, issue has been resolved. It may still get a bit moody if you try to do too much at once, given how Piwigo handles the uploads. I tried with 50 and it was OK.
