Magento 2.3.4 cron pile up issue

Magento 2.3.4 cron pile up issue

Hi, 

 

I'm running Magento CE 2.3.4 with php7.3 and I face a problem on the cron jobs that mutiply themselves on the server. After few days, I have up to 10x times the cron tasks and start to have too many DB connexions.

 

Here are the tasks that multiply themselves:

13507 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/CRON -f
13509 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/php7.3 /var/www/html/magento2/bin/magento cron:run 2>&1 | grep -v "Ran jobs by schedule" >> /var/www/html/magento2/var/log/magento.cron.log
13513 ?        S      0:00 grep -v Ran jobs by schedule
13536 ?        S      2:56 /usr/bin/php7.3 /var/www/html/magento2/bin/magento queue:consumers:start product_action_attribute.update --single-thread --max-messages=2000
13538 ?        S      2:57 /usr/bin/php7.3 /var/www/html/magento2/bin/magento queue:consumers:start product_action_attribute.website.update --single-thread --max-messages=2000
13540 ?        S      2:56 /usr/bin/php7.3 /var/www/html/magento2/bin/magento queue:consumers:start exportProcessor --single-thread --max-messages=2000

The problem was the same with M2 CE 2.3.3 and I didn't found anything releavant to solve this issue or to pinpoint the root cause.

 

If anyone have faced this issue and found a fix, I will be happy to share.

 

Best regards,

Yannick

I've been seeing very similar behaviour, but only in one of my 4 environments.
