🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
High Internal Resource Contention
Multiple internal MySQL operations or sessions are simultaneously vying for the same critical resources, leading to delays in acquiring necessary locks.
⚠️
Long-Running Transactions/Operations
An existing long-running transaction or internal service operation is holding a required lock for an extended duration, preventing other services from proceeding.
⚠️
Insufficient Timeout Configuration
The configured `service_lock_wait_timeout` or similar internal timeout parameter might be set too low for the typical workload or expected internal delays.
⚠️
System Resource Exhaustion
Underlying server resource limitations (e.g., CPU, memory, I/O) can slow down MySQL's internal processes, causing lock acquisition to exceed the timeout.
