  • What does the [logs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/TroubleshootingInstances.html#troubleshooting-retrieve-system-logs) say? – Register Sole Mar 20 '22 at 07:52

    Can you try to stop and start it? – Franxi Hidro Mar 20 '22 at 08:25
  • most of the time stop/start of the instance work out of the box, as you mentioned you have `t2.small` instance not sure if that is using `instance store` or has an EBS volume, depending on that you might wanna make backup of the stuff on your instance if you happen to have something there. [here is the answer from aws knowledge-center](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-linux-status-check-failure/) – samtoddler Mar 20 '22 at 11:47

Based on comments rebooting the instance helped.

Just in case if anyone else stumbles upon this on in future:

Amazon EC2 now performs automatic recovery of instances by default

A recovered instance is identical to the original instance, including the instance ID, private IP addresses, Elastic IP addresses, and all instance metadata. If the impaired instance has a public IPv4 address, the instance retains the public IPv4 address after recovery. If the impaired instance is in a placement group, the recovered instance runs in the placement group. During instance recovery, the instance is migrated as part of an instance reboot, and any data that is in-memory is lost
