Solve the problem of operation error when pythonanywhere connects to MySQL database

Question

I have finished my django project and I want to test it on PythonAnywhere, everything is fine until the mysql database connection shows an error

I have paid for a subscription.

/home/ An operation error occurred (1044, "Access to database 'almx98' for user 'almx98'@'%' is denied")

I have a lot of records that I don't want to lose.

pythonanywhere venv settings.py:

DATABASES = {

    'PORT': '3306',
    'USER': 'almx98',
    'PASSWORD': config('DB_PASSWORD'),
}

}

Server connection settings:
