   Hoping for some guidance from the community. We occasionally hit DB 
deadlocks during the trigger timeout check process. When this happens, the 
scheduler crashes. See linked 
[issue](https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/32698) for details. I see two 
potential options:
   
   1. Retry these transactions
   2. Skip the check entirely and allow another replica or the next timeout 
check to run
   
   At first, I was leaning with option 1 but after seeing it in code, I worry 
that the retries will cause even more deadlocks. That is, if a user set 
AIRFLOW__DATABASE__MAX_DB_RETRIES to a high number (default is 3) and since 
AIRFLOW__SCHEDULER__TRIGGER_TIMEOUT_CHECK_INTERVAL already defaults to a very 
low number, 15s, this could cause even more stress on the db. 
   
   Therefore, going with 2. Please let me know what you think. This should 
allow us to avoid crashing the scheduler when deadlocks occur on this 
transaction.
