Buffering timed out after 10000ms 8.7.0 mongoose node 20.10.0

Hi all,

It seems there is a strange error buffering timed out after 10000ms when i run the following code:

const mongoose = require(“mongoose”);
//mongoose.set(‘debug’, true);
//mongoose.set(‘bufferCommands’, false);

const delay = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
age: Number,
email: String,
});

tests()

if i run it with mongoose.set(‘bufferCommands’, false); it is working fine

Node 20.10.0 mongoose 8.7.0 linux

The strange is that it is working

Ready State: 1
User inserted (•‿•)
User found (•‿•)
Ready State: 1
User inserted (•‿•)
User found (•‿•)
Ready State: 0
Error inserting user: MongooseError: Operation user3.insertOne() buffering timed out after 10000ms

and then the error happens and if i put the mongoose.set(‘bufferCommands’, false) it works fine:

We’ve been battling the exact same issue.

Using MongoDB Server 8.0 in Atlas and locally in Docker.
Node: 20.11.1
Mongoose 8.7.1

Everything works intermittently, but lots of the same buffering error across lots of differnet find’s and aggregates in all of our microservices.

Same error here even with the latest versions.

Mongoose: 8.9.5
Container: node:20.18.0-alpine

Mongoose: 8.2.1 seems to be the last version that reliably worked for us without disabling buffering. Has anyone else found a solution instead of disabling buffering?
