Hi All,

Alerts are getting triggered multiple time for same schedule
lets say On saturday at 12:30 AM one alert is triggerted, sent an email and that same alert is scheduled next week but it with same scheduled time it send an email an Monday at 4:30 AM, I checked internal scheduler logs for both time every thing is same except thread_id
for first log it is like
thread_id="AlertNotifierWorker-0"
for second
thread_id="AlertNotifierWorker-1"

internal logs:
