Hi there @slira,

It looks like there are a lot of open MySQL connections.

What I could suggest is checking what queries are being executed and see if there are any sleeping ones or long-running ones.

During the next spike, you can do that by running the following:

  • First access MySQL
mysql -u your_user -p
  • Then check your process list:
SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
