Mine don't.

That's a fairly small cache.

The biggest cache I have been running was in the 1.5TB range, split over
a number of cache_dir, about 130GB each I think.

But it is important you keep the number of objects per cache_dir well
below 2^24. Preferably not more than 2^23.

What I think is that you got bitten by something else than cache size..
