Batch render is taking 18 seconds between frames to authorize network license

I am trying to render out a ~5500 frame animation (Maya 2020 / Arnold 6.2.1.1 / MtoA 4.2.4) at super low quality just for preview purposes (CPU render, Camera AA at 2, Diffuse at 1, Specular at 1, everything else at 0).
I have a 5950x (16 core, 32 threads), and the frame itself renders in about 1 second. However, when batch rendering, the frame will complete in the normal 1 second, but then Maya will hang for 18 seconds before moving onto the next frame. So I'm getting 3 frames per minute, when I could be getting more like 55-60 frames per minute if it wasn't hanging so long. I get the same results when GPU rendering as well (RTX 2060). My current scene has just a few pieces of relatively simple geometry and 5 lights. I have even tried creating a super simple scene with a sphere on a plane with 1 light and get the same result.
Attached is the log, where it appears that it's getting hung up for 18 seconds "authorizing with license manager".
At this rate, a 5500 frame animation will take about 1.5 hours of actual render time, and 28 hours waiting for the network license.
