MySQL brew cannot run on macOS Monterey?

MySQL suddenly stopped working after updating from macOS Big Sur to Monterey (naive). Local Laravel dev environment suddenly lost connection to MySQL. Couldn't debug it properly (still learning), so decided to do a fresh MySQL installation via brew. Was installed through brew previously as well.

On the final step, mysql_secure_installation shows this:

Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

brew services start mysql

Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Try re-running the command as root for richer errors.
Error: Failure while executing; `/bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/501 /Users/stranger/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist` exited with 5.

Am I doing something wrong? Why would it suddenly drop?

Thanks!

Not a solution, but, according to the MySQL documentation, Monterey is not yet a supported platform.

I tried brew uninstall mysql, brew install mysql and then brew services restart mysql and it did the trick for me
