The usual response would be "upgrade". 1.x is not supported anymore.

my guess is freeradius is busy handling requests that took a long
time. Usually this happens when your backend (e.g. db) takes a long
time to process the request, which is quite common if (for example)
you record accouting packets in database, and never clean it up so it
has millions of rows. Or your db is not properly designed (e.g. not
indexed in the right columns). Or you're using custom queries which
cause high load to the db.

In any case, I'd start by fixing whatever backend you use first, make
sure it can respond in a timely manner.
