Common reasons for instances are Exhausted memory and Corrupted file system.

Since you are using t2.micro, which only has 1GB of ram, and by default 8GB disk, its possible that your instance is simply too small to run your workloads. In such a situation, a common solution is to upgrade it to, e.g. t2.medium (2GB of RAM), but such change will be outside of free-tier.

Alterantively, you can re-reinstall your application on new t2.micro, but this time setup CloudWatch Agent to monitor RAM and disk use. By default these things are not monitored. If you monitor them on a new instance, it can give your insights about how much ram, disk or other resources, are used by your applications.

The metrics collected in CloudWatch will help you judge better of what causing the freeze of your instance.
