Aurora MySQL 5.7 randomly fails This is the 5th time. It happens once a week (Tuesday or Wednesday within 03:00-07:00 UTC+0). On the console, it shows available but inaccessible. We try to wait if the instance will recover itself, after ~30 min nothing happens. So I reboot it manually, then it came online again after rebooting (~5 min). 

It would be helpful to know what actually went wrong. This is only a dev server with few users and records.

Engine: Aurora MySQL 5.7.12
DB instance class: db.t2.small
Backup time: 16:00-16:30 UTC+0
Maintenance time: sun:17:00-sun:17:30 UTC+0


Below is the only list of available logs after rebooting the instance.
