SSH Tunnel "Channel open failure" in n8n Cloud 2.0.3 - MySQL connection broken

Since the update to n8n Cloud version 2.0.3, MySQL nodes using SSH tunnels exhibit a connection pool leak causing intermittent failures:
Behavior:
First workflow execution: :white_check_mark: Works fine
Multiple executions in sequence: :cross_mark: Fail with “Channel open failure”
After waiting 5-10 minutes: :white_check_mark: Works again
Error: (SSH) Channel open failure: open failed
