WP Cron : jobs far in the past + multiple instances of the same job

Hi !

I’ve got a little problem with the Wp Cron jobs, and don’t really understand how this happened and what I can do to fix it.

4 jobs in my WP Cron list are scheduled for a 4 years in the past date. They are executed everytime the cron is triggered, but won’t be removed from the list. Moreover, they are present 3 times in the cron jobs list, when they should be present only one time I think ?

I don’t know if this information is relevant, but I’m using a real cron job on the server triggering cron execution with WP-CLI, the default WP Cron behavior (execution on page load) is disabled.

I’ll post my cron jobs list below, so you can see for yourself. The 4 cron jobs I’m talking about are :
– wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files
– wp_version_check
– wp_update_plugins
– wp_update_themes

As you can see they’re scheduled for this date : 2018-10-12 13:33:15.
Adn each of those 4 jobs is present 3 times in the cron jobs. For instance, “wp_privacy_delete_old_export_files” is scheduled now, in 45 minutes, and in 52 minutes. “wp_version_check” is scheduled now, in 4 hours, and in 11 hours. And this is the same for the other too.

I tried to delete it with “wp cron event delete wp_version_check”, I get a message “Success: Deleted 2 instances of the cron event ‘wp_version_check’.”, but it’s a lie : there’s still the same 3 instances of wp_version_check in the list…

Any idea why this happens and how to fix it ?

Thanks !
