web app lost connection to the database

My web app lost connection to the database at around 7:30 am Chicago time. 23/11/2023. On the error logs it showed django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'contactlens.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com:3306' (111)")

However, this issue resolved itself after a few minutes. So I wanted to know if there was a server restart or something similar that happened at that time. Otherwise, what could possibly have happened?

We did have a short outage on one of our MySQL servers, but it is back up again.

Okay, thank you for the clarification
