Max recursion depth RecursionError when max clients exceeded with Sentinel

[rad-pat]

Version: redis-py 4.6.0, redis

Platform: Python 3.11.4 on Debian

Description:
Similar to a bug reported here #2563.
When maximum number of clients are used up for a Sentinel, there is an issue with the health check that causes a maximum recursion

Exception:

The health check is deliberately made short to generate the error

[rad-pat]

The sudden increase in connection usage is likely due to #2755
That will hopefully be fixed by fixing issue #2831

This is a separate error ass a side-effect of using up all the client connections, I think

[nsteinmetz]

@rad-pat I confirm that #2831 is fixed on master version.

[dvora-h]

@rad-pat Can you confirm that now you don't get this error (with code from master) and we can close this issue?

[rad-pat]

@dvora-h I can confirm that the bug is not fixed on master. The code above still fails with max recursion error. I would think this is related to the call_with_retry and the exception raised for max number of clients reached

[rad-pat]

One important point to note is that I do not get the error with version 4.5.5

[dvora-h]

Thanks for the response. I will try to find & fix the problem

[rad-pat]

I can also confirm that it happens without Sentinel too, and also without async.

Apologies, this was incorrect information, the problem is still there with 4.5.5
