Is azure patch management shutting down my machine?

**Describe the bug**
My VM was running for months up until a few days ago. Now something keeps shutting it down and the last thing in the log before the shutdown is always Azure Patch Management?

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. create Ubuntu VM
2. start the machine
3. run something on the machine that pings an Azure table every 60 seconds
4. Make sure it stays running forever

**Expected behavior**
The machine needs to run 24x7

**Screenshots**
This is what I see in the log

**Additional context**

The activity log shows a Health Updated Event by "system" (who is System?)

```json
"properties": {
"title": "Stopping and deallocating",
"details": "The Virtual Machine is in the process of being stopped and deallocated as requested by an authorized user or process. No other action is required at this time.",

},
```

Commencez par le journal système Ubuntu fourni, en particulier les entrées de LinuxPatchExtension, le heartbeat de WALinuxAgent et la demande d’arrêt de hv_utils, puis comparez-les à l’événement UserInitiated du journal d’activité Azure. Le travail est terminé lorsqu’il a été établi si la gestion des correctifs a initié l’arrêt et que les éléments de preuve ou la reproduction nécessaires à un fix ont été consignés.
