What is the likely cause of this problem?
The restored DB instance does not have Enhanced Monitoring enabled
The production DB instance is using a custom parameter group
The restored DB instance is using the default security group
The production DB instance is using a custom option group
Explanations:
Enhanced Monitoring is not required to connect to an RDS DB instance. It is for monitoring.
A custom parameter group would not typically prevent a connection; it could affect behavior.
The default security group likely does not allow inbound traffic from the development team.
A custom option group affects features but does not block DB instance connectivity.
