WhatsApp double flow

In certain situations (I'm not sure about the specific conditions yet), when interacting with the bot through WhatsApp, the bot initiates a second flow in the middle of the first one, duplicating all messages. At first glance, it appears that this issue occurs only when there is a prolonged gap between user interactions.

Is there a known bug related to this?

I have created this bot to explore this bug.
First I define how many messages it should send me.
Then the delay between the messages.
On the web version it always works as expected.
With Whatsapp it works if I have few messages or a small delay.

Otherwise it may start a second flow.

This works for me, the message is delayed.
You can see by the messages timestamps that the delay works.

It seems to be working, of course such a small waiting time can have big changes, it depends on processing, networking and communication between applications
If you put 5 minutes, and it is sent in 10, this indicates a problem, but between 5 and 6 is reasonable.
works with this way to me now

This is unfortunately a known issue
This is why we are migrating from serverless environment
I'm actively working on this migration
Thank you!
Do you have an expected due date for this?
I really don't mean to rush you; I'm just asking because I have a very strict deadline to present a MVP to the big guys, and without this fix, I should probably juts pull it off already.
At best it will be deployed in a week
In February, for sure
I have only 6 days. 😆
Better quit.
Yeah sorry, that's an important one, I can't rush it!
Don't worry. That's clearly a sensitive change, can't be rushed.
There's no way to increase the 10s timeout?
I know it's not a final solution, but at least we can manage it by now.
