When a job triggers another job using the Parametrized Trigger plugin, and the other job is configured with "(v) Execute concurrent builds if necessary", "(v) Restrict where this project can be run" and "Label Expression" set to a label for agent running in a pod in a Kubernetes cluster using the plugin Kubernetes plugin for Jenkins, the triggered job will be triggered only once if triggered twice or more within 8 seconds or less.
The triggered job will show in the console output more than one "Started by upstream project "" build number ", eg:
Started by upstream project "trigger" build number 59

Started by upstream project "test" build number 9

Not sure if it happens with non-dynamically provisioned agents. May happen only when an agent in a Kubernetes pod needs to be allocated for the first trigger and the agent hasn't been allocated yet when the second trigger happens.
