reboot fixes “pam_systemd(sshd:session): Failed to create session: Connection timed out” need to find the cause.

In case I get something similar to this again:

I have been noticing this for last few days but I thought systemd update should solve this (bug report was raised against systemd)

I updated system today (I have not given it a reboot yet) and I still see those logs.

Rebooting fixed this issue.

But I’m not sure about the cause.
