Hi Alok, the "Too many connections" error means that all available connection slots to the database server are being used by other processes. This can happen due to a temporary traffic spike or, more commonly, a plugin or script that is not closing its database connections properly. Our LiteSpeed server and Redis caching help mitigate this, but if it persists, you may need to investigate your website's code to find the culprit.
