Thanks! I was able to reproduce the issue.

I’m wondering if this message might still be confusing for users.
Would they immediately understand what "overflowing transactions" means?
Even after reading this message, it seems also unclear what actions
they should take to resolve the issue. Plus, this message can appear
multiple times if there are multiple overflowing transactions before
starting accepting read-only connections - which could be even more confusing.
