Grouped jobs firing multiple times

[hardcodet]

Noticed the following issue here in my logs:

1. I'm scheduling a grouped job (concurrency: 1) for execution
2. BullMQ triggers the execution (with quite a delay, even though it was scheduled for immediate execution, and there weren't too many jobs. This may be a red herring though).
3. about 30 seconds later, the job is triggered again

• I looked for similar log entires, and it appears this happens from time to time, and then in clusters.
• May be a load issue.
• No services were restarted during those times
• we're currently running version 5.1.10

Any idea why this is happening?

As you mentioned it would be quite useful to understand why the job is delayed. Could there be an issue with the workers? are they really online?
A job processed twice is often produced by a job that has been stalled as if the worker has lost connectivity or hung for too long, which makes the job get stalled, which will result in a reprocessing of the same job. Check the job details to see if it has been attempted several times, that would be an indication of this behaviour.
