Umbraco 8.9.

I am seeing tons of "Lock request time out period exceeded The statement has been terminated." when using Azure Web Apps and trying to publish descendants. There are a lot of publish issues with Umbraco when trying to publish more than one thing even with all the recommended Azure Web App settings.

I've been getting this more and more since 8.9 and it's progressively getting worse (even after upgrading to 8.11 today). Setup is Dedicated server running SQL Server 2017 (so no azure).

Always happens after doing a few publish events (updating content) - only way to fix it is to restart SQL Server which is far from ideal, god knows how i'd do this if it was Azure.
