Hello,
It sounds like that your MySQL service might be crashing or the database credentials that you are using could be incorrect.
What I could suggest is checking the following:
- Make sure that the MySQL service is working as expected:
sudo systemctl status mysql
- Check the MySQL error log in case that the service is not starting:
sudo tail -100 /var/log/mysql/error.log
- If you are using WordPress, I could suggest going through this tutorial here that covers the best approach in troubleshooting database connection problems:

Let me know how it goes. Best, Bobby
