EOS R6 Mark II freezing frequently

I am a club and event photographer who works 6 nights a week. I have a canon R6 and I kept having freezing issues, where the camara becomes none responsive and i have to take the battery out before it works again. This occurs every night. Depending on the club, up to 8 times an event within a 1hr time frame. I sent the camera to be repaired under warranty and while it was gone I bought the 6d mk ii. Withing the first 25 mins of using it , it began to freeze up as well. unlike the r6 which had an error code , this just has a dark grey screen and yet again i have to remove battery to reset. I use all canon original gear. Is anyone else having same problem?

If this persists I will have to return the camera for a refund.

Update. i also got my 6d back and withing first day it started freezing again but this time not showing an error code.

Hi all , 

So I have a final update fixing the issue in this long thread. I sold both my r6 mkii and bought a r6 mkiii. I have used that extensively for a few days, in same conditions and I am happy to say absolutely no freezing issues. The r6 MK3 is a good final form and a lot of problems from b4 seems to have been solved.  If it's within your budget, I would advice part exchanging, editing is the same and tbh I seem to get a bit more dynamic range. So with this I sign out. Happy new year all
