cisco switch WS-C2960S-48TD-L total output drops or OQD

We have a lot of WS-C2960S-48TD-L switches in our network. sw version 12.2(55)SE7
All switches are interconnected through the core-switch.
The number of total output drops is growing on one of the switches.
Every day, three times for 30 minutes, losses begin to grow (attach a graph)

On switches, gigabit copper ports, servers with ESXI VMWARE are connected to them.

 

On other switches, servers with ESXI VMWARE are also connected and there are no such problems.

 

Such errors appear even on those ports where there is almost no traffic. I think, This problem does not depend on the amount of traffic

 

 Average switch load 40-50%

 

 

 

The command "SH INT SUM" also shows errors (OQD). At the same time, packets are not visible in the output queue, and increasing the output queue does not solve the problem. (I will attach the output of the command)

sh int summ

*: interface is up
IHQ: pkts in input hold queue IQD: pkts dropped from input queue
OHQ: pkts in output hold queue OQD: pkts dropped from output queue
RXBS: rx rate (bits/sec) RXPS: rx rate (pkts/sec)
TXBS: tx rate (bits/sec) TXPS: tx rate (pkts/sec)
TRTL: throttle count

How ports are configured (example):

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/18
description **ESXI**
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
load-interval 120

Output of the iperf3 command during these periods between two servers connected to the switch. Usually there are almost no losses

Maybe this problem is related to switch overload or switch settings?
