Hello,
Thank you for your post.
The instance is stuck in shutting down due to problems with underlying host. Can you please try to perform force stop on the instance?
Force the instance to stop using either the console or the AWS CLI.
To force the instance to stop using the console, select the stuck instance, and choose Actions, Instance State, Stop, and Yes, Forcefully Stop.
To force the instance to stop using the AWS CLI, use the stop-instances command and the --force option as follows:
aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-0123ab456c789d01e --force
My apologies for any inconvenience this may have resulted in.

Hi Vicky,
Thanks for your response, I was unaware of the --force
operator for this sub-option. Unfortunately it didn't work either :( . I also tried to stop the instance from the Web UI and that didn't work either.
$ aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-id i-0195ea5cf3147180a --force
An error occurred (IncorrectInstanceState) when calling the StopInstances operation: This instance 'i-0195ea5cf3147180a' is not in a state from which it can be stopped.

Hello TomL-aws,

Thank you for your patience and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Regards,
