Based on discussions, questions and answers, Goku achieves the UI state when
he is at his limit.  
But when he achieves it, is he aware of that?  
Does he feel different?  
If so, then why doesn't he recreate the changes and feelings to control the
state and use it more efficiently?

Is Goku aware that he is in the UI state?


If he was aware the first time he entered is kind of unsure, however the
second time he definitely was. We see him casually talking with Kefla(she
asked him if that was ultra something, he responded its called ultra
instinct). Further into the fight he mentioned he is getting the hang of
it(meaning he is somewhat in full control) however, as Whis has mentioned it,
he still thinks about his attack thus limiting his full potential in the
state. There is still room for improvement in this state, but he is gradually
mastering it. I think when his rematch with Jiren will happen he will be in
full control.

He's aware because right after he got it he looks at his aura, also because in
screencapture #2 he says "I'm starting to learn how ultra instinct works"
(sorry, the subtitles are in spanish)

and about this

he's actually learning how to control it better because Piccoro says he's
evolving and every punch he makes is faster and more sharp and stronger

It's simple. It's pretty easy to understand why Goku was and wasn't able to
use UI at those times. When he needed UI, he was saving it for the last
resort.

The first time, it happened by accident.

Then the second time, he had already figured it out. He was pretty aware that
he was in the state of UI, and he took advantage of that as much as he could,
teaching his own body to fight on its own, then it ran out due to the
significant loss of stamina.

Then the third time, he was trying to tap into it/clear his mind and separate
his mind from his subconscious, and at the last second, he got a grip on the
power of UI which saved his butt at the last second.

Holding on to that, he managed to just let his body do the rest.
