EC2 instance sometimes stuck during shutdown after running CLI "aws ec2 stop-instances" on it

I have an instance that needs to periodically check for jobs and then shutdown after job is finished

The shutdown is performed from inside a docker container running on that instance. The container has aws-cli installed and API keys set up. From inside that container I run: aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids $INSTANCE_ID

and as a result the instance sucessfully starts the shutdown process and usually stops without issues. However sometimes it gets stuck after the system is halted, but the instance itself is still in running state. However as all services are stopped there is no access to it.

The system is default ubuntu AMI: #18~22.04.1-Ubuntu Instance type: t3.2xlarge

Do you have any idea why this happens and how to prevent it?

This is the tail of syslog just before it freezes:
