Interesting! I guess I've dealt enough with load balancers that as soon as I saw 'AWS network issues' and 'Many of our clients are hosted in AWS' I immediately jumped to the LB connection pool being full of mostly-dead connections, but this is an important lesson for anyone utilizing LBs. This is a very easy avenue to attack for bad actors, so setting strict timeouts and high connection limits (within reason vs. the capability of your load balancers) is important.
