1012 Service Restart

The server is terminating the connection because it is restarting. The client should reconnect after a brief delay.

When You See This Code

The server is performing a planned restart — for example, during a deployment or configuration reload. The connection will be available again shortly.

How to Fix

Implement automatic reconnection with a short delay (1-5 seconds). This code signals that reconnecting is expected and should succeed once the server is back up.
