connection error + other issues with Redis

I have been experiencing issues with Redis and the issues persist or come up randomly until I flush the Redis fully then the issues go away for a couple of hours and then they come back probably as Redis start caching stuff. For example with Redis active, users cannot put a comment for woocommerce products as it just goes to ‘Error establishing a Redis connection - To disable Redis, delete the object-cache.php file in the /wp-content/ directory.‘

Or, the checkout page does not work giving this kind of error ‘There was an error processing your order. Please check for any charges in your payment method and review your order history before placing the order again.‘ until I clear Redis cache…

Or, sometimes when trying to install a plugin Redis crashes the website, or when trying to update a plugin, or create a page, and many more…

Timeouts are all set to high, the maxclient number, and many other settings in the past few days all modified to mitigate the issue but no luck. The memory is not an issue as I have set 16 gb of RAM for Redis and it uses around 5 gb ram now.

Any feedback on this?
