+## Redis max_connections
+
+You can set the `max_connections` parameter in your `cache_params` for Redis. This is passed directly to the Redis client and controls the maximum number of simultaneous connections in the pool. If you see errors like `No connection available`, try increasing this value:
+
+```yaml
+litellm_settings:
+  cache: true
+  cache_params:
+    type: redis
+    max_connections: 100
+```

+## Troubleshooting: Redis Connection Errors
+
+You may see errors like:
+
+```
+LiteLLM Redis Caching: async async_increment() - Got exception from REDIS No connection available., Writing value=21
+LiteLLM Redis Caching: async set_cache_pipeline() - Got exception from REDIS No connection available., Writing value=None
+```
+ 
+This means all available Redis connections are in use, and LiteLLM cannot obtain a new connection from the pool. This can happen under high load or with many concurrent proxy requests.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+- Increase the `max_connections` parameter in your Redis config section in `proxy_config.yaml` to allow more simultaneous connections. For example:
+
+```yaml
+litellm_settings:
+  cache: True
+  cache_params:
+    type: redis
+    max_connections: 100  # Increase as needed for your traffic
+```
+
+Adjust this value based on your expected concurrency and Redis server capacity.
