Description

### Discussed in https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg/discussions/1068

Originally posted by **amacfie-tc** August 21, 2023
I received the following error, does anyone know what it means? In the SQLAlchemy engine, `pool_pre_ping` is set to `True`.
```
asyncpg.exceptions._base.InternalClientError: cannot switch to state 12; another operation (2) is in progress
