PA-VM in AWS with Decryption Rule - server side connection kept open

Hello, running 11.1.2-h3 on AWS with decryption rule. The setup is: Windows Client --> FW --> Web-Proxy --> Internet

Firewall decrypts the traffic (so firewall itself acts like proxy). After the client side connection is closed with TCP-FIN, the firewall keeps server side connection to Web-Proxy and both firewall and Web-Proxy exchanges millions of TCP ACK. They never close the connection. This is causing huge packets in the network and causes CPU spike on the firewall and Web-Proxy.

The session info doesn't reflect that there are packets leaving from the firewall to web-proxy. But packet capture does show.
