I encounter this from time to time. Previously, I deleted the problematic campaign after cloning it and all seemed fine. I’ve also encountered this with segments. Now I add a --max-contacts=X flag and then it works just fine.

Note: Replace X with the max number of contacts you want that cron job run to process. I’ve got mine sitting around 500 right now without any issues.

Okay, this seems to be the reason (fixed with v5)
