hangfire recurring job: prevent parallel execution of the same job

I have implemented a recurring job which needs to run every minute. Now and then the job has a hickup as an API-Call is involved which can take a bit longer to response. So that the job is enqued a second time, even though it wasn't finished in the previous run.

My Question: How do I prevent a Hangfire job to run if another instance of the same job is already running?

Thank you!

To prevent the same recurring job from running simultaneously in Hangfire, you can use distributed locks. Hangfire already provides built-in mechanisms for ensuring that recurring jobs don't overlap, but you can explicitly enforce this behavior by wrapping the job logic in a distributed lock.

public class MyRecurringJob
{
    [DisableConcurrentExecution(timeoutInSeconds: 300)] // Prevent overlapping for 5 minutes
    public void Execute()
    {
        
    }
}
