I've checked netstat and there are only 15 mysql connections (status is
still reporting the same):
Pool size: 20 Connections in pool: 19 Current Overflow: -36 Current
Checked out connections: -35

On our other servers, the number of connections (from netstat) matches
up with the pool status as expected.
I will try and recreate the problem with a test.

Many thanks!


there's almost certainly a bug on our end on that, then.

    Well it is possible QueuePool doesn't do the right thing under

    though we use it a lot w/ eventlet in Openstack and I've tested it

    You'd need to produce for me a self contained test suite that
    illustrates this behavior occurring, that would be very helpful in
    order
    to track this down.

    Do you see too many actual database connections in play when this
    condition occurs ?  That is, using netstat you'd see more than 120
    connections.
