Hi.
I think that this usually happens when the Droplet is stuck during boot or has a broken SSH config. Since you can access the recovery console, try checking logs (/var/log/syslog or journalctl) to see what went wrong.
Also check your SSH config (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) in case it’s misconfigured. If you made recent changes to the system before this started, that might help narrow it down.
If you’re stuck, best move is to reach out to DigitalOcean support for help.
