    Resolution & Current Status

    โœ… A server restart has resolved the issue, and all systems are now operating normally.
    ๐Ÿ›  We have implemented monitoring to track database connections and optimize performance.

    Next Steps

    ๐Ÿ“Œ Ongoing Monitoring: We will continue to observe system performance to ensure stability.
    ๐Ÿ“Œ Preventative Measures: Additional optimizations, such as connection pooling and rate limits, are being explored to prevent future occurrences.

    Monitoring Status

    ๐Ÿ” Database Health: โœ… Normal
    ๐Ÿ” Bot Functionality: โœ… Fully Operational
    ๐Ÿ” Redis Cache: โœ… Active

    ๐Ÿš€ Marking this issue as resolved, but we will continue to monitor.

    Issue Summary

    Earlier, we experienced database connection issues, leading to "Too many clients already" errors, which disrupted support ticket retrieval and certain bot functionalities.

    Resolution & Current Status

    ๐Ÿ”„ A server restart has successfully resolved the issue, and all systems are now operational.
    ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Monitoring has been enabled to track database connections and prevent future occurrences.

    Next Steps

    ๐Ÿ“Œ Root Cause Investigation: We are analyzing logs to identify the underlying cause of the issue.
    ๐Ÿ“Œ Preventative Measures: We will implement optimizations such as connection pooling and rate limits to avoid similar disruptions in the future.

    Issue Summary

    We are currently experiencing database connection issues, resulting in "Too many clients already" errors in the logs. This may cause disruptions in certain bot functionalities, including database-dependent commands.

    Current Impact

    • โŒ Bot commands relying on the database may fail

    • โŒ Possible slowdowns in certain bot features

    Redis Workaround Available

    ๐Ÿ”น If you have used the bot within the last hour, your data may still be available in Redis. This allows some functionalities to continue working, but new database queries may be affected.
    ๐Ÿ”น We are redirecting temporary data to Redis where possible to reduce the impact.

    What We're Doing

    โš™๏ธ Our team is implementing database optimizations including:

    • Connection pooling to manage simultaneous connections

    • Increasing PostgreSQL client limits

    • Enhancing Redis caching to reduce direct database queries

    Next Update

    We will provide another update within 60 minutes, or as soon as the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience! ๐Ÿ™Œ
