- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: Find EC2 instance ID
      ec2_instance_info: 
        region: "{{ region }}"
        filters:
          "tag:Name": "{{ instance_name }}"
      register: ec2
    - name: Terminate EC2 instance
      ec2:
        region: "{{ region }}"
        instance_id: "{{ item.instance_id }}"
        state: stopped
        wait: yes

Hi @p-goetz
Thanks you for rising it, It has probably fixed on a PR #237, it was released on collection 1.4.0, so please updated to this version and try again.

Thank you very much for this hint. I didn't realize that I could update individual parts of Ansible. I did that and it works.
