Reconnect task for Jira client is not correctly cleaned up

In order to access Jira, we are using an internal Jira client to make HTTP requests. In case we temporarily can not connect to a Jira instance, we start a reconnect task to wait until a Jira instance is reachable again. This task is not cleaned up properly and in some circumstances in can run forever until Jira is restarted again.

Workaround

Restart your Jira instance.
