Mongo Auto Reconnect Error Continues even after resetting mongod.lock file (MongoEngine Connect)

Question

I am using flask celery and mongo in seperate containers. WHen I start the containers, I am hit with the following error

worker           | pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect: connection pool paused
worker           | 
worker           | The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

When I delete /data/db/mongod.lock once and restarting container, the same error appears. But if deleted again, and restarted then this error wont appear till I make a change in flask code. If flask is reloaded with some code changes the same thing has to repeat again. How is it possible to remove this error permanently.

import logging

from mongoengine import *

class SafeDocumentMixin:

    def save_safe(self, *args, **kwargs):
        for attempt in range(5):
            try:
                return self.save(*args, **kwargs)
            except pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect as e:
                wait_t = 0.5 * pow(2, attempt) # exponential back off
                l.warning("PyMongo auto-reconnecting... %s. Waiting %.1f seconds.", str(e), wait_t)
                time.sleep(wait_t)

    @classmethod
    def objects_safe(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        for attempt in range(5):
            try:
                return cls.objects(*args, **kwargs)
            except pymongo.errors.AutoReconnect as e:
                wait_t = 0.5 * pow(2, attempt) # exponential back off
                logging.warning("PyMongo auto-reconnecting... %s. Waiting %.1f seconds.", str(e), wait_t)
                time.sleep(wait_t)

class Person(Document, SafeDocumentMixin):
    name = StringField()
    age = IntField()
