Timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to obtaining a distributed lock on the 'lock:recurring-job:l' resource

I am getting the following exception while hangfire server is provisioning recurring jobs:

  [DistributedLockTimeoutException: Timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to obtaining a distributed lock on the 'lock:recurring-job:AppJobId' resource.]

This is causing the background service to take a long time to load and eventually resulting in the exception of above; I am using Hangfire.Pro.Redis 2.7.1.0

Kindly help!!!
