Shared connection to host closed - ansible

Question

I am trying to change user for certain task unable to make it work. Getting the error Shared connection to host closed
Here is my playbook:
cat test1.yml
- hosts: hcmbox
tasks:
- name: Find out my identity Bourne
command: "whoami"
register: idoutput
become: true
become_user: ebs1
- debug: msg="{{ idoutput.stdout }}"
I get this error:
ansible-playbook -i inventory test1.yml
PLAY [hcmbox] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [srvdb1.localdomain]

fatal: [srvdb1.localdomain]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Shared connection to srvdb1.localdomain closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}
PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
srvdb1.localdomain : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Removed following two lines from playbook
become: true
become_user: ebs1
and executed again, here is the output:
PLAY [hcmbox] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [srvdb1.localdomain]
TASK [Find out my identity Bourne] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [srvdb1.localdomain] => {
"msg": "oracle"
}
PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
srvdb1.localdomain : ok=3 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
The trust and everything looks ok to me:
[oracle#ansctrlsrv epd3]$ ansible all -i 'srvdb1,' -m command -a 'whoami' -u ebs1
srvdb1 | CHANGED | rc=0 >>
ebs1
Even ssh works fine I checked it.
[oracle#ansctrlsrv epd3]$ ssh ebs1#srvdb1
Last login: Tue Feb 4 10:35:51 2020 from ansctrlsrv.localdomain
[ebs1#srvdb1 ~]$
I am at a loss why I am getting this error: Shared connection to srvdb1.localdomain closed
When I run with -vvv This is what I see:

Which Python version is installed on your server?
Can you try to install python3 and add the path to python 3 in your inventory file.
It would look something like this:
srvdb1.localdomain ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
