User scheduled workflow status moving to complete

With an Alteryx user workflow on the server, the schedule is moving from active to complete, even though though the end date is blank and never is also selected.  Below is a picture of the schedule that is moving to complete

I use the following in my script. I use looping logic to check for active jobs on both of our nodes, and if any are found, then I execute the task kill.

taskkill /F /IM AlteryxEngineCmd.exe

Proceed with caution, as this will truncate a job mid-run, which may affect your customers. My users know to avoid the maintenance window, so the only jobs typically getting killed are high-frequency runs that see no real negative impact from being canceled.
