Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Hello @maythamalsudany,

 Welcome to WordPress Core's Trac! Thank you for this ticket.

 As @costdev noted, this issue is fixed in WordPress 5.9 release (releasing
 on 25 Jan 2022). See #52825.

 In PHP 8.1, the default error handling of MySQLi extension changed from
 silent to fatal error. This is fixed in 5.9 by turning off error reporting
 as Core has its own error reporting and graceful handling of database
 errors.

 For more information:

 default error mode changed] in the WordPress 5.9 and PHP 8.0-8.1 dev note.
