App platform and postgresql connection pool wont work

I am successfully running a python app in app platform, and it reaches the managed Postgres database just fine.

I have created a connection pool in the database to increase the connection limit, but when updating the connection parameters in the python app, I just get timeouts when trying to reach the database connection pool.

What I have tried:

• The app is whitelisted in the trusted sources of the database
• The connection string to the pool works fine! I have the same python app running outside Digital Ocean and works fine!
• When I skip the connection pool and go straight to the database, everything works fine!
• I have tried attaching the database to the App in App Platform.
• Searched in the forum and others are having the same issue with different programming languages.

I can’t deactivate trusted sources in the database, since it is required for the project.
