CARP failed when master node failed to reboot

[fahadshery]

I rebooted my primary/master pfSense.
It got stuck but then another reboot fixed it and it came back online.
since then I am getting this error:

A communications error occurred while attempting to call XMLRPC method host_firmware_version: Unable to connect to tls://10.1.100.3:443. Error: stream_socket_client(): Unable to connect to tls://10.1.100.3:443 (Unknown error)
stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto
stream_socket_client(): SSL: Handshake timed out @ 2024-05-15 21:11:02

I tried running certcli rehash on both nodes but nothing changes.
both pfSense are running the same versions.
I also ran pkg-static update -f on both nodes but no use.

I can also ping the secondary node at SYNC interface of 10.1.100.3 and vice versa.

Any ideas?
