| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
connection refused because too many open connections | The cluster hit its concurrent connection limit for its tier. | Your side | Close unused connections, restart the app, or scale to a higher tier. Source |
DNSHostNotFound: Failed to look up service | Your DNS server could not resolve the SRV record used by mongodb+srv:// connection strings. | Your side | Switch to a public DNS server or use a non-SRV connection string. Source |
Error: querySrv ECONNREFUSED _mongodb._tcp.<SRV Record> | The SRV lookup for your cluster was refused, usually by your network's DNS. | Your side | Follow Atlas's troubleshooting steps for SRV lookups or use a standard connection string. Source |
The most common causes are an IP address missing from the access list, wrong credentials, DNS that cannot resolve SRV records, or hitting the connection limit. Atlas's troubleshooting page covers each.
MongoDB posts Atlas incidents on its status page. If other clusters or the Atlas UI work, the problem is likely your cluster or network.

If your product or your team depends on MongoDB Atlas, its outage is your outage, and your users will blame you, not MongoDB Atlas. Point a Site Qwality monitor at the MongoDB Atlas endpoint you actually rely on, put your own site next to it, and we alert you on Slack, email, SMS or any webhook the moment either one stops answering.
