Answer 1

I guess you must be connecting to cloud.mongodb.com to your cluster.

One quick fix is to go to the connection tab and add your current IP address(in the cluster portal of browser or desktop app). The IP address must have changed due to a variety of reasons, such as changing the wifi.

Just try this approach, it worked for me when I got this error.
