[Solved] Azure Cloud VM Error: too many connections

I have a product running on my local pc in VS2019 and IIS Express google chrome localhost with no errors

when I publish it to Azure VM and connect I get error too many connections

when I run SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "max_connections" in mySql Workbench both show a value of 151

I have gone through the programs and changed

Dim conn As New MySqlConnection(ConnString) to be

Using conn As New MySqlConnection(ConnString)

End using

As advised on the net but still get error on the Azure Cloud VM but no errors on my localhost
