How to detect:

The default maximum number of connections configured for PostgreSQL is 100. Connection failures occur when requests exceed this limit.

Recommended action:

Monitor active sessions count against the connection limit. Adjust the max_connections parameter according to your needs to prevent connection failures. Plan for scalability to avoid exceeding 100 concurrent connections.
