Webjob not running on set interval time

We have a web job set to trigger every 2 minutes(Schedule: 0 */2 * * * *). Based on the Webjob details recent job run logs we notice that sometimes the trigger interval is 4 minutes. I've done the general internet search on this and most responses I get mention to set the web app service config to 'Always On'. We have this set up as such.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or solutions is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Azure WebJobs have a default timeout of 120 seconds (2 minutes) of inactivity, after which the WebJob is aborted. if the WebJob takes longer than 2 minutes to complete its task, it may be aborted, causing the next trigger to occur 4 minutes after the previous one.
