AWS RDS automatically stopping soon after it is started

I have created an RDS on AWS which initially shows the status of 'available' but when I use my sql client to connect to it I receive the error:

Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Connection reset by peer, Authentication lapse 0 ms

Then when I check the status of the RDS online (AWS dashboard) it says 'stopping'.

When I try to start the RDS again it's status will go from 'starting' to 'stopping' after a couple of minutes and then eventually 'stopped'. I can't find anything online referring to an RDS automatically stopping and I am somewhat a novice to AWS.

Based on the comments.

The solution was found by checking CloudTrial Event history. Based on the search it was identified that StopDBInstance was issued by HIPComplianceWorker user.

This probably means that there is an automation that checks the db instances launched and verifies if they comply with your companies policies. Your instance could be violating such policies, and it was automatically stopped.

You would have to contact your admins to check with them what kind of RDS you can use.
