Description (last modified by Barney Szabolcs)

With the introduction of threads in Django 3.0, somehow only changing from Django 2.2.x to Django 3.0 causes the number of connections to build up, with each request a new connection being added.
Probably this pile-up is because of some bug in one of the Django-related packages. However, it would be nice to have a safety feature in Django not to exceed a limit of database connections. It would make the whole system a lot more robust.
(At the moment it is not even worth to switch for some long term users who use a long list of packages along with Django because the db connection buildup has no straightforward solution, yet.)
