Daily Top Ten Database Error

I’m not sure what happened, but for the last few months my site has been experiencing a ‘too many connections error.’ I’ve spoken with my host and they have tracked the culprit down to ‘wp_dailytopten’

Have other people experienced this issue and if so, what’s the best fix for it? I’m including some of the error messages below.
