random 500s

since upgrading to 1.8.0 I get a lot of random 500s (database and storage). I selfhost appwrite and nextjs proxies all the connections to appwrite. Worked fine before the update. In the appwrite docker I get "Error handler had an error: Pool 'console' is empty (size 10)". Since its not a problem of resources it"s probably limits to db connections. But I couldnt find where I set the database limits as env vars.

edit: maybe not a problem of rate limits since I get it on connections with API keys as well. mariadb gives me a lot of "[Warning] Aborted connection 109 to db: 'appwrite' user: 'xyz' host: 'ip' (Got an error reading communication packets)"

TL;DR
Developers have been experiencing random 500 errors in their appwrite self-hosted instance since upgrading to version 1.8.0. The error "Pool 'console' is empty (size 10)" indicates a potential issue with database connection limits. The user suspects it may not be related to rate limits, as errors occur with API keys too. They are seeking help to locate where to set database connection limits as environment variables.
