Four connection failures, and the shape they share is that several unrelated integrations break at once. ONE: A ROTATED PASSWORD. Somebody changed the service account's credential — a policy, a security review, a leaver process. Every flow using that connection fails with an authentication error, immediately and loudly, which is the best of the four because the message names the cause. TWO: AN EXPIRED CERTIFICATE. Same effect, worse diagnosis: the failure is a handshake error that reads as a network problem rather than a credential one. Certificates have a date and nothing reminds you, so this arrives on a schedule nobody wrote down. THREE: AN AGENT NOBODY RESTARTED. A patched server, a reboot, a service that did not come back.
