Root Cause

Write concern could not be satisfied within timeout.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Check replica set health: rs.status() for lagging members
  2. 88% success Set appropriate w and wtimeoutMS based on replica set size

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Set w:0 for all writes 85% fail

    No write acknowledgment, data loss risk

  2. Remove wtimeout 78% fail

    Writes hang indefinitely on replication issues
