MongoDB Error 205: Cluster Time Rate Limit Exceeded
Description
Error 205 indicates that MongoDB's internal rate limiter for cluster time failures has been triggered. This usually means that a high volume of cluster time synchronization attempts are failing, often due to significant clock skew between replica set members or issues with the underlying time synchronization service.
Error Message
Cluster Time Fails Rate Limiter
Known Causes
3 known causesSignificant Clock Skew
Individual members of the replica set have clocks that are out of sync by a large margin, preventing proper cluster time agreement.
NTP Service Problems
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) service or equivalent time synchronization daemon on one or more servers is not running, misconfigured, or inaccessible.
Network Latency or Partition
High network latency or temporary network partitions between replica set members can disrupt timely cluster time synchronization.
