Is this happening on one node or across the cluster?
Root cause: likely a cluster-wide containerd/CRI or network issue
Check the affected node's resource pressure and containerd's own health
Root cause: the node is resource-starved, usually on disk
Is there a large pile-up of stale containers or images on this node?
Fix: remove the stale exited containers
Node and containerd both look healthy
