Description

Hello,

After failover, I am receiving the "READONLY You can't write against a read-only replica" error in my Amazon ElastiCache for Redis (cluster mode disabled) cluster. This usually happens during the maintenance window. I'm using the primary endpoint.

If it might be the issue that StackExchange Redis cache DNS in the application node and routes traffic to the old primary node? How to handle such errors in this situation?

Thank you for

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by confirming the reported Amazon ElastiCache failover scenario and whether StackExchange.Redis is expected to handle the stale primary endpoint. Done would require a maintainer-defined client change or documented guidance, plus a reproducible test or clear reproduction if a code fix is needed.
