Description:
------------
standard installation of:
-debian buster
-php7.3-fpm
-apache2

each php-sleep seems to trigger creation of a new fpm-child-process.
this results in 503 errors when there are many requests if no more child-processes can be created

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

this is expected - a sleeping child cannot handle other requests so php-fpm will create a new child to handle new requests. Why did you think this is a bug?

it does not scale! 

e.g.: if there is a sleep(1h) in a php-file and pm.max_children+1 clients call this php-file, the last one receives a 503-response! additionally for 1h the page will be offline (503) as all child-processes are idle for one hour...

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

you are correct but this is inherent to the design. You are welcome to build a sapi that does not have this problem.
