Description
Describe the bug
I have a workflow with various jobs that have to be ran one by one by the runner. But the runner only picks up the first one or two jobs and doesn't pick up the rest of the jobs in the queue. It enters into an idle state when there are multiple jobs in the queue, the only way for the runner to pick them up and finish the workflow is if I manually cancel and re-run the failed jobs.
This was not happening a couple days ago, it just randomly started without any significant modification to the workflow or runner.
Expected behavior
The self-hosted runner should finish all the jobs in the queue.

Research direction
