I don't think it's immediate.. But it's probably something like:

 - notice it's not working -> reconnect
 - requests are queued
 - reconnect fails, hopefully soon, but MySQL connect at least fails in max. 10 seconds
 - reconnect timeout is added, which doubles after each failure
 - requests are failed while it's not trying to connect
