Resource limitations was hiding the real issue.
Hashcat running in brain client mode is not closing off the brain connections until the whole mask file is processed when running on the windows 10 command line.
Work around using powershell
Set-Location -Path '<hashcat folder path>'
$file_data = Get-Content <mask file path>
foreach($line in [System.IO.File]::ReadLines("<mask file path>"))
{
.\hashcat.exe -m 9400 hash.txt -a 3 $line -O -w 3 -S --opencl-device-types 1,2 -O -z --brain-client-feature 2 --brain-password password --brain-host <brain ip addr>
$lines = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllLines("<mask file path>").length
Write-Host $i "/" $lines
$i = $i+1
}
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to exit"
