GS2210-48p randomly stops sending Radius requests

So I've noticed this a few times now.  Randomly on some of the 60+ switches I have had them become inaccessible from login (both webpage and SSH).  I can usually go into radius and disable the client then proceed to SSH into switch with the local creds.  But the only way to get the switch back to talking through Radius is to reboot the entire switch itself.

Logs on switch itself state that it does flip between the 2 radius servers I have configured then a no authentication message.
1 May 20 12:11:31 WA authentication: RADIUS Authentication - change RADIUS server from 1 to 2
   2 May 20 12:10:04 NO authentication: SSH authentication failure [username: Name, IP address = 172.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Firmware Version - V4.50(AAHV.2) | 02/27/2018

I haven't tried the latest firmware yet, This switch has also been up for 357 days, but this shouldn't stop the radius server.
Anyone else having experience this issue?  Is there a way to just restart the radius service without disrupting the site connected to this switch?  The external logging server never actually shows a radius request leaving the switch until after the restart also.

    Hi @Kevin_FT

    For starters, it's recommended to upgrade to latest 4.50(AAHV.3)C0 which includes the new bugfix.
    As for your issue:
    1. What is the frequency of the "stop sending" symptom?
    2. May I know what RADIUS servers you are using?
    3. Could you provide the config (including AAA setting) for us?

    1. No direct frequency as I'd have to pour through daily config downloads to find out when that stopped.
    2. Microsoft NPS V10.0.17763.1
    3.

    aaa accounting system radius broadcast

    The one odd piece which leads me to believe that AAA requests are being sent is that SSH will accept the local logins with the radius client enabled, but no AD creds.  The webpage will not accept the local creds, or AD creds until I disable the client on the radius server, which will enable the local logins only.

    @Kevin_FT

    From your config I don't see config about authentication (in AAA setup) and RADIUS server.
    Can you give me the complete config by PM?

    We've tested locally with 2 RADIUS servers working with GS2210 and seemed working fine when flipping between servers.


    Maybe you should check if any abnormal log in the 2nd RADIUS server?
