Multiple jobs being sent to workers

Describe the problem/error/question

I have a workflow setup to run every 7 seconds, I’ve noticed the workflow double or triple posting to our slack channel when it runs (when should only be once). When checking the execution history, I see the workflow being ran multiple times per second. I have 2 workers and 1 main node.

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @Hidden_Squid

Do you see in your worker logs that they are running the same execution ID?
What is your set up for your main instance? Is it possible that you have two instances set up on different ports but using the same database?

The weird thing I notice is it seems to be different execution ID’s (viewing them in real time when happening). As for the setup, it’s just a single main instance with 2 workers, a redis container and an RDS postgres DB. The issue wasn’t always happening but popped up in 1.2x and still is happening in 1.45.1. I tried killing both the workers but still happening with fresh ones.
