This could be due to network issues, node failure, or the node being overwhelmed with requests. To resolve this, you can try the following: 1) Check the network connectivity between the nodes. 2) Verify the status of the node and restart it if necessary. 3) Monitor the load on the node and adjust the cluster settings to distribute the load more evenly. 4) Check the node logs for any specific errors and address them.
