Let's say an alert is being triggered and met in the Alert panel, but the alert email that was supposed at, for example, 10AM is instead being sent out at 10:50AM, so there is a 50 minute delay.
One likely reason for this is possibly a backed up alert or render queue. The rest of the instance is probably backed up with schedules/renders as well.
Right now the default is 10 threads per instance for schedules and 3 for alerts as you can see on this documentation.
You'll need to balance the resources and adjust as needed, so instead of scheduling the reports/ alerts at the same time, space them out evenly.
