My setup: Everything is running locally Docker Desktop Mongo 5.0.7 2 shards, with 3 servers in a replica set per shard 1 mongos 1 config replica set with 3 servers Load tester application that pushes a lot of time series data, while simultaneously doing reads, written using the .NET C# driver, v. 2.15.0 Reproduction steps: Setup a 2 shard cluster, even in docker Create a sharded time series collection, and insert few records.  I added a few million records.  The destination bucket of each record doesn't make a difference, meaning the meta field can vary i.e. different sensor IDs. Perform a sustained, heavy read load on the collection. Observe that the primary shard for the time series view processes a lot of get queries, while the other shard processes none.  This can be seen in the mongostat output attached, where shard1 on the left processes 1k+ "query" ops, but shard2 on the right processes none of these "query" ops Observe the following logs entry on mongos "ctx" : "conn1516" , "msg" : "Unable to establish remote cursors" , "attr" :{ "error" :{ "code" :169, "codeName" : "CommandOnShardedViewNotSupportedOnMongod" , "errmsg" : "Resolved views on sharded collections must be executed by mongos" , "resolvedView" :{ "ns" : "EndpointDataProtoTests.system.buckets.EndpointData:Endpoints-NormalV8" , "pipeline" :[{ "$_internalUnpackBucket" :{ "timeField" : "t" , "metaField" : "m" , "bucketMaxSpanSeconds" :3600, "exclude" :[]}}], "collation" :{ "locale" : "simple" }}}, "nRemotes" :0}} The attached image is a mongostat output that was captured by NoSqlBooster 7.1.  The left side is a direct connection to the primary of shard1, and the right a direct connection to the primary of shard2
