Hi @zoddshop63,
Could you share a bit more about your environment?
- MySQL/MariaDB version?
- Approximate number of posts in your `wp_posts` table?
- PHP version and `max_execution_time` setting?
I tried reproducing this on the latest version of WordPress but was unable
to.
Regarding `SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS`: this function can become very slow on
large sites with many posts. It has to count all matching rows before
applying the `LIMIT`, which on a big table can take long enough for PHP to
time out mid-query. This is a known limitation and there are existing
discussions in core around making it more efficient.

"For anyone landing here with the same issue: the "no quit sent" symptom
typically points to PHP terminating the script before WordPress could
close the MySQL connection — not a core bug. Also worth trying: swap
`DB_HOST` in `wp-config.php` between `localhost` and `127.0.0.1` — if the
errors stop, the issue is with your connection method."
