Answer 1

The issue is the number of pooled connections you can have in the pool.

In your connection string, you can add the "Max Pool Size=100" attribute to increase the size of your pool. However it sounds like you are concurrently running a significant number of SQL queries, all of which are long running. Perhaps you should look at ways to either shorten the queries or run them sequentially through a single connection.
