Negative number of missing events logged

Bug report

What is the current behavior?

A negative number of missing events are being logged sometimes. I get the following warning logged:

[WARNING | octue.cloud.events.handler] [analysis-1588e25e-b51c-4af4-bc62-fbc175d31139] <Service('gulfwindtech/dlc-service:add-real-dlc-ser')>: -108 consecutive events missing for question '84cc924e-13e5-4769-9eb9-9c1bed405c53' after 10s - skipping to next earliest waiting event (event 3).

See here for the logs this came from.

What is the expected behavior?

This warning should only be triggered when there are missing events. If there are missing events, this should always be a positive number.

Your environment

• Running in Cloud Run
• octue==0.56.0 (currently the improve-ask-multiple branch)
• I'm using Child.ask_multiple, so this might be due to some non-thread-safe behaviour

Proposed Solution

Investigate whether:

• There are actually missing events when this occurs
• Whether this only occurs when using Child.ask_multiple
• Whether there's some thread leakage going on

This is no longer relevant as I've removed event ordering from the event handler in the upcoming release
