  Monitor System Performance: Use transaction codes like ST22 (dump analysis) or SM37 (job monitoring) to check for any performance issues that might be affecting the scheduling.
  Review Maintenance Plan Parameters: Ensure that the parameters set for the maintenance plan are correct and suitable for parallel processing.
  Run in Background: If necessary, try to run the maintenance plan in the background instead of parallel processing to see if it resolves the issue.
