MongoDB Error 261: Too Many Sessions
Description
This error indicates that the MongoDB server has reached its maximum allowed number of concurrent logical sessions. It typically occurs when the database is handling a high volume of operations or client connections that consume session resources.
Error Message
Too Many Logical Sessions
Known Causes
3 known causesHigh 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.
