[Bug]: Long running database backups get stuck in progress status, although complete

Error Message and Logs
Long backups were working fine after we added a custom timeout option into database backups (this issue here)
So v4.0.0-beta.420.7 was handling these large backups completely fine. Something must have been introduced later that changed the timeouts again -> which @andrasbacsai fixed then in #7476 .
However since this fix about a month ago has been released, the status is getting stuck perpetually in "In Progress".
Since Coolify thinks the backups are all in progress, cleanups and S3 storage does not work.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create any database that will take longer than one hour to complete backup (mongo, postgres)
- Start a backup
