System Information
Operating system: macOS-13.4.1-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Metal API Apple M1 Pro 1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.0 Alpha, branch: main, commit date: 2023-09-25 17:54, hash: 0dfcde3fde6d
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Simple animations hang after rendering to between 180 and 200 frames.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I have some basic animations rendering in Cycles in 4.0, however this is a problem that also existed in 3.6. You render and the first 180 to 200 frames are fine, and then the rendering process stop and Blender hangs. Since it hasn't crashed I went and used Activity Monitor to do a Sample Process. Activity Monitor showed Blender as being non-responsive. This happens on both of my computers.

I've uploaded 4 process samples and also a working .blend file.

This file is complex and rendering each frame takes a long time on the M1 I have available :\

@Christopher-Tyler, have you checked if the same happens if you reduce the number of samples and the resolution? (This can speed up the process to confirm the issue).

The fix for this will be available in Blender 4.0 (see https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/4e3ee4f and also #114153)
