What causes QA work to stop moving during a sprint?

Sometimes testing seems to stall even though the sprint is still in progress.

From your experience, what usually causes QA work to stop moving?

Curious to hear real examples from different teams.

What's the biggest reason a sprint slips even when Jira looks healthy?

I've noticed that teams can have a sprint where most work is still marked "In Progress" or appears to be moving, yet the sprint slips near the end.

In your experience, what's usually happening behind the scenes?

Is it dependencies, QA, code reviews, environments, changing priorities, CI/CD, or something else entirely?

I'm interested in hearing real examples from engineering teams. What patterns have you seen?
