If possible run a quick test and see if they are able to manually download and install updates?
That is quite common code but I remember I have delt with with many times when the scan job goes timeout because of the WSUS database bloat. Consider to clean and maintain your SUSDB. Look for this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/configmgr/wsus-maintenance-guide
Its just 3-4 servers that are giving issues out of initial 100 servers in PoC. The cleanup and maintenance tasks are all done.
What else can i do to fix the issue. Thanks.
Then use ccmsetup /uninstall, reboot, install CM client. See of that helps. Also there is a way to delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder so you get rid of all cache.

The procedure @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko mentions about removing the SoftwareDistribution cache on client machine failing can help. You can try doing so with below commands:
net stop wuauserv
rd /s /q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
net start wuauserv
Or, alternatively, you can script the manual procedure from:
net stop wuauserv
rd /s /q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
net start wuauserv
Let us know your comments,

I tried but still getting the same issue.
