mysql@bootstrap.service fails on restart

I wanted to remove a node from a three node cluster. I stopped the two non-bootstrapped nodes. I edited the my.cnf file to remove the one non-bootstrapped node. ran systemctl stop mysql@boostrap.service then ran systemctl start mysql@boostrap.service. I receive the error Job for mysql@boostrap.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See “systemctl status mysql@boostrap.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details. systemctl status shows
systemctl status mysql@boostrap.service
