Ok. Would you recommend stopping the current session of ddrescue and starting again with a more frozen drive? GNU ddrescue 1.17 Press Ctrl-C to interrupt rescued: 581315 MB, errsize: 156 GB, current rate: 0 B/s ipos: 738085 MB, errors: 585, average rate: 6571 kB/s opos: 738085 MB, time since last successful read: 19 s Copying non-tried blocks... The failing drive is 1 TB and has about 600 GB of data.
