MongooseError: Operation `autodeletes.findOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms at Timeout.<anonymous> (C:\Users\alban\documents\github\autodelete-v14\node_modules\mongoose\lib\drivers\node-mongodb-native\collection.js:186:23) at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:573:17) at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:514:7)

What I’ve done after research :

• Restart my vps :clown:
• Give access to my IP separately than just have the 0.0.0.0
• Try to connect via compass and check if there is any issues (no issues)
• Try to find different ways to connect but nothing seemed to do anything.

Right now, I am using mongoose on node.js , I havent touched the code for a while and this cam up yesterday, as a result my app will not work.

the simple way I use to connect :

    if (mongoose.connection.readyState === 0) {
      try {
        console.log(`${ChalkAdvanced.blue('Database: ')} ${ChalkAdvanced.gray('>')} ${ChalkAdvanced.yellow('connecting...')}`);
        await mongoose.connect(`${mongoUrl}`, { serverSelectionTimeoutMS: 5000 }); // Increased timeout
        if (mongoose.connection.readyState === 1){
        console.log(`${ChalkAdvanced.blue('Database: ')} ${ChalkAdvanced.gray('>')} ${ChalkAdvanced.green('Successfully connected')}`);
      } else {
        console.log(`STATE OF THE DB HEREEEEEEEEEEEE : ${mongoose.connection.readyState}`)
      } 
      } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
      }
    } else {
      console.log('Already connected to database.');
    }
  }```
