Django: Getting Interface Error, Exception Value: (0, '') when using remote MySQL DB but not local DB - mysql

Question

Trying to login to my app, I am getting this error when I am using a MySQL DB hosted remotely but not when I am connecting to my locally hosted XAMPP one.
I've read a couple entries on my question but they mostly mention cursors that aren't explicitly closed, which I don't need to since I am using with in all my raw queries.
I am using django-allauth for my authentication.

Would appreciate feedback on where to check the issue.

Avoided this issue by recreating a new DB and migrating.
