It signifies a resource contention or misconfiguration related to server-side thread management, preventing further queries within that group from executing.
💬

Error Message

🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Low Transaction Thread Limit
The `transaction_thread_limit` setting for a thread group is configured lower than the actual demand for concurrent query threads.
⚠️
High Concurrent Workload
A surge in concurrent queries or long-running transactions within a specific thread group causes the active query threads to exceed the defined limit.
⚠️
Inefficient Queries
Poorly optimized SQL queries or transactions that hold query threads for an extended duration can exhaust the available limit in a thread group.
