Whenever I create and run an alert, the alert is getting queued but not running thereafter. Is there a way to clear the threadpool queue and make the alerts run faster.

Error:

```auto
{
  "_id" : "log_error_watch1_4730bca4-1913-4fc6-8afc-c391ebe46c6a-2022-05-31T14:42:14.42171262Z",

          "scheduled_time" : "2022-05-31T14:42:14.421Z"
        }
      }
    },
    "messages" : [
      "Watch is already queued in thread pool"
    ]
  }
}

```
