It might be worth creating a lock so only a single instance can run, but
I am not sure that will address your root issue.

What spec is this? I have a k6 200 that takes only about 20 minutes!
How large is the cache? How much free space?
We need to find out if it is just taking more than 24 hours and then the
second instance compounds the issue.
Can you change /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher and add '-v' to the script
invocation. You will get an email with basic information about what it
is doing.
Is there anything in the logs
(/var/log/apt-cacher/{db|access|error}.log?
