I found your question because I was having the same problem.
I found the issue for me to be because I was auto loading the database library, which creates a database connection to your default database connection every time you load a page. You can turn this off in the config/autoload.php file
Change

Code:

$autoload['libraries']('database');

to

Code:

$autoload['libraries']();
