Remarks
Due to an oversight in versions 5.0.0-5.0.8 of MongoDB, the count command, which estimatedDocumentCount uses in its implementation, was not included in v1 of the Stable API. If you are using the Stable API with estimatedDocumentCount, you must upgrade to server version 5.0.9+ or set strict: false when configuring ServerApi to avoid encountering errors.
