Explanation:

The point-in-time restore capability of Amazon RDS for MySQL allows you to create a new DB instance with the same configuration as the original one, but with data restored to a specific time within your backup retention period.You can specify any time within your backup retention period, up to the last five minutes of your DB instance's usage1. This feature is useful for recovering from logical corruption or user errors that affect your database.

However, when you use the point-in-time restore capability, you are creating a new DB instance with a different endpoint. Therefore, you need to change the application connection string to point to the new, restored DB instance.You can also delete or rename the original DB instance if you no longer need it1
