Last week Monday. The parameter is max_connections, and it seems that last week Monday you had exhausted that limit. You should try to figure out what caused the problem rather than indiscriminately raising max_connections. You could turn on log_connections, that would help finding the cause. I guess I don't have to tell you that you should upgrade.
