The error message is straightforward: there are too many existing connections to your database server, so the attempt to make a new connection fails.

I had this experience on a shared server - exact same error message - a few years back. It was caused by other user accounts on the server.

It might go away of its own accord, otherwise, I recommend contacting your hosting provider about it.
