Alerts not Finalizing- Is there a way to find out why it's getting stuck?

I've got an issue with a scheduled alert that keeps going to finalizing but never stops (if this happens on the weekend it will "finalize" all weekend until I kill it on Monday).

Is there a way to find out why it's getting stuck, or to set a finalizing time limit so it just stops after n seconds regardless of state?

I've already set the dispatch.max_time but that doesn't appear to effect the finalizing duration.
