This error (pool is draining, new operations prohibited) might occur if you are using the official mongodb library for node js or mongoose. Please check if you are specifying pool size while establishing mongodb connection.

mongoose.connect(url, {poolSize: 10, bufferMaxEntries: 0, reconnectTries: 5000, useNewUrlParser: true,useUnifiedTopology: true});

Specifying pool size while connecting to mongo database, eliminates this error.
