[JENKINS-67089] Docker pipeline plugin fails to kill the docker container after the build completion

After our recent upgrades to newer Jenkins core and docker-work-flow plugins, we started to see that some of our pipelines are failing to kill the docker containers after stage execution is finished and this is happening randomly,

Below is the stack from pipeline log,

Any idea why we get such issue in stopping the container ? Is there a way to increase the time out maybe (daemon log says failed exit in just 1 second) ?
