Pool connection timeout even after server restart

Hello, 
In continuation with my previous question, the pool connection timeout is still occuring.
I beg you to please look on to this issue.
Library: 19.19.0
Connection string details: 
Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(FAILOVER=on)(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=****)(PORT=***))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=***)(PORT=***)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=))); user id=USER_ID=**;password=**;persist security info=true;enlist=true",
Stack trace:

If you head into Windows performance monitor, the ODP.NET driver should record statistics such as 
NumberOfActiveConnectionPools
NumberOfActiveConnections
NumberOfFreeConnections
NumberOfInactiveConnectionPools
NumberOfNonPooledConnections
NumberOfPooledConnections
NumberOfReclaimedConnections
NumberOfStasisConnections
Compare those with how you have configured the min/max pool size for your connection pool 
 
 
19c pooled connection timeouts

We have a similar interesting issue but it is with the unmanaged ODP.NET DataAccess and in our case it is using connection pooling. When we were on the 12.2.0.1 drivers, it closed out connections and the pool connections went from active to free. Now with 19c (19.3) drivers, according to performance monitor, connections stay active. In the database the sessions are connected but inactive.
Is the only possible source of the error "Pooled connection request timed out" from the ODP.NET Unmanaged driver? Can it come from Managed ODP.NET Can it come from the ODBC connection pooling?

Sorry, thats getting beyond my knowledge on ODP. I think you'll need to log a call with Support on that one 
 
 
Thanks - I found the culprit

I am pretty sure having looked through all of the documentation that it is limited to the ODP.NET Unmanaged. And, I found the place where it was missing the .Clost()

Hello
I'm getting the same error too. I don't understand exactly how you solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks

I cant speak for the previous poster, but notice they said they found a missing "Close()" request, which means they were grabbing sessions from the pool but never giving them back...hence the exhaustion of the pool sessions.
