 * Hey,
 * thanks for reaching out – those events should happen only once (that is kind 
   of the purpose of wp_cron), after you have installed the plugin and the plugin
   checks posts for thumbnails (for every thumbnail, one event) and such. Is this
   still happening (it will for new posts)?
 * Looking forward to your reply and sorry for the inconvenience,
    Petra
