 Replying to [comment:4 skarabeq]:
 > And when I open https://wptest.dev/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron via crontab
 5 times I got 5 executed cron events. It must be only once.

 You're bypassing the cron locks by doing that, and as a result, the cron
 task being fired multiple times is expected.

 The cron should be only triggered by calling `spawn_cron()`.
 If you're using an external trigger for cron tasks by calling the cron url
 directly then you'll need to handle it yourself some other way.

 I'm going to mark the ticket as `invalid` as it sounds like this is purely
 due to you triggering the cron manually, if you can experience cron tasks
 running multiple times, via `spawn_cron()` (Which is what WordPress uses)
 feel free to re-open the ticket with detailed information we can use to
 duplicate it.
