Appears that capture is working and it is a storage problem.
Storing large captures to esxi OS partitions is probably not good.
/tmp is 256M which matches when capture ends in the last comment above.

Using /scratch is a better practice. The article below works through verifying the current location and how to configure if not present. If on a datastore check available space and configure total capture size to not overfill.
Creating a persistent scratch location for ESXi 7.x/6.x/5.x/4.x
"VMware recommends that ESXi has a persistent scratch location available for storing temporary data including logs, diagnostic information, and system swap."
