Clique Mining stops without warning when a vote passes for a new signer

[REPTILEHAUS]

I have 3 signers, when another address is voted for the network seems to stop all mining with no error, this happens regularly and i cant seem to find a way (short of editing the geth code) to kick start all mining operations.. they are all just stuck at "Signed recently, must wait for others"

Current getSnapshot with a pending vote (created by the new 4th node), mining quite possibly stopped at this point.

Anyone got any advice, tips or tricks for either solving this issue or a workaround to push a signer to validate a block so the network doesnt come to a standstill ?

I had reported a similar issue here for reference #16406
