I've experienced the same thing and am on my third arale for this issue.
Some people don't seem to ever run into this issue running certain types of
laptops (older Thinkpads come to mind here) while those with modern Apple
laptops like my Macbook Pro seem to run into this the most. It's a really
odd issue.
