Error: sorry, too many clients already

I am using PostgreSQL in my NodeJS backend service. All of sudden, when I start the service I am facing below error 

 connection error error: sorry, too many clients already.

PostgresSQL connection config

 const pg = require(“pg”);
 const client = new pg.Client({
        host: “txslmxxxda6z”,
        user: “mom”,
        password: “mom”,
        db: “mom”,
        port: 5025
 });

I am unable to query database because of the above error. I am unable to fix this issue. Can you please suggest the solution
