Hi all, whenever I run the services findNearestIntersection, findNearbyStreets, or findNearestAddress I consistently receive the following error response from geonames;

<status message="Cannot get a connection, pool error Timeout waiting for idle object" value="12"/>

However, when I run findNearbyStreetsOSM and findNearestIntersectionOSM I receive the returned values no problems.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Probably a server overload during some peak time. For reliable responses I suggest to use the premium services.

The osm service is accessing an other database and therefore using a different connection pool.

I get this error consistently with the extendedFindNearby service, regardless of time. We are planning on upgrading to the premium service once our project launches, but will need assurances that this problem does not occur in that environment.

We were previously using the findNearbyPlaceName service. It worked flawlessly but it was not returning the results we were expecting.
