Breaks intermittently due to Thread::create failed error

I have created a custom docker image which is using shelf/lambda-libreoffice-base:7.4-node16-x86_64 as a base image by following the instructions in README file. It is working fine for most of the time but it intermittently breaks.

Here's the code of my docker image:

FROM public.ecr.aws/shelf/lambda-libreoffice-base:7.4-node16-x86_64

COPY ./fonts/* /usr/local/share/fonts/
COPY ./ ./
RUN yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y
CMD [ "app.handler" ]

And here's my handler function:

const handler = async (event) => {
  try {
    const {fileUrl, isExcel} = event;

    const inputFileExtension = ".docx";
    const fileName = `template-${uuidv4()}${inputFileExtension}`;
    await download(fileUrl, `/tmp/${fileName}`);
    const pdfFilePath = convertTo(fileName, 'pdf');
    const stats = fs.statSync(pdfFilePath);
    const pdfFileData = fs.readFileSync(pdfFilePath);
  
    await clearTmpDirectory();
    const response = {
      statusCode: 200,
      body: pdfFileData
    };
    return response;
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
    throw err;
  }
}

Here download function is simply downloading my file from url that has been passed to it and clearTmpDirectory function is simply clearing all the files from tmp directory.

Here's the error that I am getting intermittently:

javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!

}

Note: This works perfectly fine for a while if I redeploy my same image on lambda, but after that it again starts to fail with above error intermittently.
