Looks like connection issue.
Check Security group(s) attached to your RDS instance. One of the Security Groups should allow access on 3306/tcp port from one of:
- Security Group of your EC2 instance
- IP address of your EC2 instance
- IP address pool of your EC2 instance subnet
- IP address pool of your VPC
Verify if any of Security Groups attached to your RDS instance allows outgoing traffic to one of:
- Security Group of your EC2 instance
- IP address of your EC2 instance
- IP address pool of your EC2 instance subnet
- IP address pool of your VPC
- 0.0.0.0/0
