I can’t seem to log into my FTP account today. My account authenticates, but your servers keep kicking me out with the following message. And my account should only have one user.

It means the FTP server is a bit busy. The FTP servers, like all other servers with any shared hosting, are shared among multiple customers so the 2900 connections is all accounts on that FTP server.

Thanks, glad to know it wasn’t something I was doing wrong.
