When the number of session connections reaches the maximum capacity of the pool, requests for acquiring a session will be blocked, and you can set the blocking wait time through parameters. After using a session, it should be returned to the SessionPool using the <code>putBack</code> method for proper management.</p><h3 id="create-sessionpool" tabindex="-1"><a class="header-anchor" href="#create-sessionpool" aria-hidden="true">#</a> Create SessionPool</h3><div class="language-python line-numbers-mode" data-ext="py"><pre class="language-python"><code>pool_config <span class="token operator">=</span> PoolConfig<span class="token punctuation">(</span>host<span class="token operator">=</span>ip<span class="token punctuation">,</span>port<span class="token operator">=</span>port<span class="token punctuation">,</span> user_name<span class="token operator">=</span>username<span class="token punctuation">,</span>
