The grace period expiration thing is probably due to the fact that
shepherd is no longer processing signals, as I described here:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63736

Could you share all of /var/log/messages (possibly privately, and
limiting to “shepherd” lines) starting from when the machine booted?
I’d like to see if there are hints of something that went wrong.
