It's a database problem. Make sure your Postgres database is running and accessible. Confirm it’s not paused or out of quota. Increase the volume if necessary.
Also, if you recently rotated credentials, update them everywhere n8n uses them (you can check the admin log).
Or if your DB is just slow to start, you can try increasing the timeout by setting DB_POSTGRESDB_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT to something higher like 60000.
