Serverless + Localstack Hanging Deployment and No API Gateway endpoint

Serverless Framework
,

Im trying to deploy to localstack using sls deploy --stage local using version 3 and latest serverless-localstack plugin. the deployment process always hanges repeating the text

Using custom endpoint for CloudFormation: http://localhost:4566

before this hangs i see multiple successful updates for my lambda functions followed by 1 failure

  UPDATE_FAILED - AWS::CloudFormation::Stack - billing-local

i can invoke individual lambdas at this point but i do not have an api gateway endpoint as specified in my serverless.yaml

there is a cryptic python error in the localstack logs that im not sure is related

WARN --- [ncthread1615] l.s.c.e.template_deployer  : Error calling <bound method ClientCreator._create_api_method.<locals>._api_call of <botocore.client.Lambda object at 0xffff62de0ca0>> with params:...

Im not sure where else to troubleshoot so any help would be appreciated. thank you
