Bug Description

I have a define workflow that sends posts to social medias pages as such as LinkedIn, Telegram and Facebook, but when the workflow begins to execute, it's stays normal for a time and then, it just starts to multiplicate and that one execution turns into a 5-10 executions at the same time and really break the flow because it starts to posts multiple times at the same minute in the social media. I have double-double checked my workflow and didn't find any reason for this to happen and it seems odd that it starts glitching out of nowhere.

My company that provide me the enviroment that I work so I don't know exaclty the details that I'm in, but the URL they gave me was: https://n8n.recrutei.com.br/

To Reproduce

1- Execute the workflow
2- See it working just fine
3- After some hours I go check and see that it started to multiplying

Then I start to stop all the workflow that spawned and sometimes the more I stop more executions appears

Expected behavior

The workflows should be executed one at a time, when the first workflow passes the data, it waits for that workflow to passes forward the new data so that it can execute the next data on the queue, but it seems to be "ignoring" the Wait node and just passes the data forward while it still waits for the time of the Wait node pass. And because data was passed, it begins another execution in parallel with that which is still waiting
