Cannot trigger a running automation via API even though the mode is "Restart"

[cornim]

The problem

When I try to trigger an automation via .../api/services/automation/trigger it works fine if the automation is not running but I get a timeout if it is running already. This is true even though the automation mode has been set to "Restart".

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
