   Hi @GitHubDiom,  Please note that the whisk deploy tool has not control over cold/warm start times of functions; it is simply a deploy/undeploy tool.  I would recommend this issue be moved to the main openwhisk repo. and discussed as a backend issue.  Perhaps it is a problem with reusing warm action from the same sequence (scheduling)?
