You're getting this connection refused error is because the emulator is not running. Once you run the emulator successfully, you should not see this connection refused error.

I'm facing an issue while trying to start the Cosmos DB emulator. Even after installing it and attempting to open the data explorer, I see a "localhost refused to connect" error. Can someone guide me on how to resolve this issue?
