Hello there,
I’ll recommend examining the server logs and checking if the MySQL service is not affected due to a lack of server resources. MySQL might be down due to low memory and this can explain the “Error establishing a database connection” error.
We have a pretty good tutorial on How To Debug the WordPress “Error Establishing Database Connection” which you can check here:

Hi @alphan,
This seems to be an issue with the plugin more than the droplet itself.Error establishing a database connection more often than not means that you have a wrong database user password in your wp-config.php. Additionally, your user might not have sufficient permissions to enter/access the Database, but this shouldn’t be the case if you’ve followed all steps of completing the WordPress one-click droplet setup.
