Azure Function App - Swap deployment Slots stuck then crashing completely - azure

Question

Recently my function apps have stopped swapping slots, they worked fine for months but suddenly they have all stopped swapping by taking a long time then crashing. I have recreated the function apps using the same scripts and have replicated the issue but still can't fix.
Is there anything I am setting to stop the slots from switching?
Here is the fundamental build script I am using. I am able to run this but when trying to swap slots in Azure it freezes then crashes with a vague error message:
# Azure Login
az login
# Set deployment Environment
$environment = "stage"
# Resource Group Variables
$subscriptionId = ""
$domain = "test4"
$resourceGroup = "xx-platform-$domain-$environment"
$region = "northEurope"
# Functions app variables
$storageName = "xxfn$domain$environment" # must be less than 24 chars and all lower case
$functionAppDeploymentSlotName = "test"
$functionAppName = "xx-platform-$domain-fn-$environment"
$functionAppEnvironment = "AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT=Development"
$websiteRunFromPackage = "WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1"

I have modified your script in initializing the variable values directly to the cmdlets:
# Azure Login
az login
az account set --subscription "<Ur_Azure_Subscription_Id>"
# Function App Create
az functionapp create --name dt-platform-fn-stage --storage-account dtfnstageenvironment --consumption-plan-location northEurope --resource-group HariTestRG --runtime dotnet --functions-version 4
# Environment
az functionapp config appsettings set --name dt-platform-fn-stage --resource-group HariTestRG --settings AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT=Development
# WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE
az functionapp config appsettings set --name dt-platform-fn-stage --resource-group HariTestRG --settings WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1
# SET DOT NET FRAMEWORK ERSION
az functionapp config set --net-framework-version v6.0 -g HariTestRG -n dt-platform-fn-stage
# Create functions app deployment slot
az functionapp deployment slot create --name dt-platform-fn-stage --resource-group HariTestRG --slot test
Created the Http Trigger Function using the cmdlets given in the below given MS Document.
For Continuous deployments, this app setting needs to be configured:
az functionapp config appsettings set --name dt-platform-fn-stage --resource-group HariTestRG --settings "SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true"
Deployed the Function to the Azure Functions using az cli cmdlet given in one of my workarounds.
By default, Auto Swap on Slots will be disabled:
It is working fine during the slot swapping and make sure you have followed the considerations mentioned in this MS Doc that also provides the list of az cli cmdlets for managing the slots like creating, listing, deleting, swapping and auto swapping configuration.
Above Azure CLI Commands have been taken from this MS Doc references.
