Asterisk 18.20.2 is suddenly stopped responding

Hello,
Today same problem happened twice on 2 diff PBXs.
both are using Freepbx and Asterisk 18.20.2

Problem: Asterisk is suddenly stopped responding

Suddenly today Asterisk stopped responding to our PJSIP devices. At that time, PBX box itself was connected with the internet network. However PJSIP devices are unable to connect with the Asterisk and unable to register also.

Once I restart our Asterisk, everything works fine again.

I don’t understand where and what the problem is.
no logs in CLI about errors
but on both servers it started with

Strange but before “long voice queue” I can see a reload of asterisk
like someone edits something and applies changes.
I assume it starts after that

On both servers, we are using PJSIP with TCP for extensions - if it matters
[2024-09-19 07:47:56] NOTICE[33116] res_pjsip/pjsip_transport_management.c: Shutting down transport 'TCP to 174.68.146.XX:5062' since no request was received in 32 seconds

Any hints or help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Also, you need to work out what you are doing that is unusual. Deadlocks caused by normal use get found and fixed rapidly.

Hi
just new extension was added.
can you please clarify why are you thinking that it is a deadlock?
any other options ?

Because you said “suddenly stopped responding”.
