Possibly consider using a shorter maxLifetime value – hikari connection pool spring boot

The problem is that the default value of the spring.datasource.hikari.maxLifetime property (default of 30 minutes, https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP#gear-configuration-knobs-baby) is higher than the database’s wait_timeout, 10 minutes in my case.
So you have two options, either decrease the hikari.maxLifetime below 10 minutes, or increase the database’s wait_timeout property.
