Taskcat ping during cloudformation is taking a long time and it is increasing progressively

[gavihs]

I am using Taskcat as part of my build process to ensure that the stack I am deploying is fine

Everything is fine until the task starts the cloudformation
In the log for this particular build
The CFT starts at 12:01:52
The next ping happens at 12:06 after 5 minutes
The next ping happens at 12:14 after 8 minutes
The next ping happens at 12:23 after 11 minutes

It progressively gets worse

Is there a workaround to control this

Any help will be appreciated
It is more than 25 minutes since the cft was created my build process has not fully identified that the stack is completed
It waits for another 25 after the deletion of the stack

Any help on how I can speed up the process will be appreciated

The command I have provided on my build is

taskcat test run -t cfttest --input-file "taskcat-$build_environment.yaml"
