Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
High Client Load
A large number of active client connections or frequent operations can quickly exhaust the server's logical session capacity.
⚠️
Session Leaks
Applications failing to properly close or release sessions, or non-optimal driver behavior, can lead to an accumulation of idle sessions.
⚠️
Suboptimal Configuration
The `maxLogicalSessionRecords` server parameter might be set too low for the expected workload, causing the limit to be hit prematurely.
