MongoDB Atlas ServerSelectionTimeoutError: SSL handshake failed

I’m having a hard time fetching some data from my mongodb database using pymongo driver. I keep getting the following error:

pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-01.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007),SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-00.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007),SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-02.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007), Timeout: 30s, Topology Description: <TopologyDescription id: 64f0dc87584d8256bd425707, topology_type: ReplicaSetNoPrimary, servers: [<ServerDescription ('ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-00.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=AutoReconnect('SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-00.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007)')>, <ServerDescription ('ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-01.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=AutoReconnect('SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-01.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007)')>, <ServerDescription ('ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-02.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=AutoReconnect('SSL handshake failed: ac-mtxrap4-shard-00-02.vfg8vpd.mongodb.net:27017: [SSL: TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR] tlsv1 alert internal error (_ssl.c:1007)')>]>

I use linux ubuntu 22.04. Python version 3.10.12 and pymongo version 4.5.0

from pymongo.mongo_client import MongoClient
from pymongo.server_api import ServerApi
from pymongo import database
from credentials import mongoDB_uri
import json
from bson import json_util

client = MongoClient(mongoDB_uri, server_api=ServerApi('1'))

class mongoDB:
    def __init__(self, client=client):
        self.client = client
        
    def getImageMetadata(self):
        db = database.Database(client=self.client, name="productimagedata")
        cl = db.get_collection(name="images")
        imageMetaData = []

        for obj in cl.find():
            imageMetaData.append(obj)

        return json.loads(json_util.dumps(imageMetaData))

There’s my code just in case, but I’m almost 100% sure it isn’t the issue with my script.

I also must mention that my code worked completely fine just a few days ago.

On google I couldn’t find any relevant solution that would work.
I tried:

• Updating python to version 3.11.2
• Assigning certifi.where() (perhaps, ssl certificate path) to tlsCAFile property of MongoClient instance as suggested here
• Even setting ssl=False which didn’t work (probably because it isn’t the certificate issue as occurs to me)
• Researching on TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR, but couldn’t find anything that explains what’s going on better than this answer

Curious if anyone had encountered this kind of error before and can help with a solution.
