For us it was CE active connections started to grow after 4 hours of upgrade and we had the MaxActive connection set us 60 ( default ). So after the connection count reaches 60, which never happened before, we started to get the error reported here.
As a workaround, we increased the maxActive connection to 600 and now we do not see an abrupt spike in the active connections. But it looks like the connections are slowly growing and are not getting released.
We have the idle_in_transaction_session_timeout set to 5 Minutes. But maxLifeTime connection is default 180000. We are thinking of reducing this to less than 5 minutes.
Thanks for the quick decision and plan to release bugfix version. How soon we can expect this ?
And is there any workaround we can do until this release ?
