We did bump up the connection limit and it is helpful but now we again notice little spike in connection.

How many sv_active do you have in non-peak hours? What kind of system is this on? I suspect that your hardware cannot actually handle 100 simultaneous processes at once and if you increase that to 250 processes there is a good likelyhood that your system response will get even worse. Number of CPU to 2x number of CPU is typical for peak performance throughput. Are you using a 50-core system? What do the I/O stats look like? You may be I/O limited.
