I’ve gone through the documentation for RKE2, Googled and still haven’t found a way to gracefully shutdown an RKE2 node. systemctl stop rke2-server (or agent) doesn’t seem to work, regardless of which version I’ve tried (1.22.x & 1.23.x)

You can try this, it works with our rke2 clusters https://kubernetes.io/blog/2021/04/21/graceful-node-shutdown-beta/
