sudo fsck -f /
fsck from util-linux 2.38.1
e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
/dev/sda3 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

Sometimes through GRUB i can do recovery. Doesn't work everytime though

You can try to invoke grub (press Shift or Esc when boot starts) and use another kernel. If it helps - then it's something wrong with the kernel you try to boot.

I had similar situation. The reason was lack of memory in the /boot folder, which is why kernel was not installed properly. Deleting old kernels was the solution.
