AWS Cognito lambda triggers twice

I'm using an AWS Lambda function (using nodejs).

Once any request from APP to Cognito to signUp users. Then I have set the Pre sign-up trigger to validate the user's customer and check users custom attribute available in our database or not. If yes then return an error and else insert new records in DB and return the event to Cognito.

TimeoutInfo - 5 min.

It happens sometime in the request, not all the time. RequestId as different. (it will trigger 3 times sometime and most of the time twice)

Lambda trigger code as below.

users/index.js

const handler = async (event, context) => {
  log.info('createUserLambda:start');
  // immediately return once the call back is called to avoid
  // lambda time out because of any open db connections
  context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
  return await preUserCreate(event);
};

exports.handler = handler; users/users.js

export const preUserCreate = async (event) => {
  log.info('preUserCreate:Start');
  let userAttributes = event.request.userAttributes;
  const currentDate = moment().utc().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
  try {
    let userParams = {
      'docStatus': 'VRF'
    };
    let docParams = [{
      'docNumber': userAttributes['custom:document_number'] ? userAttributes['custom:document_number'] : '',
      'createdDate': currentDate
    }];
    if (docParams.length && docParams[0].docNumber) {
      let documentExit = await getDocs(docParams[0].docNumber);
      if (documentExit.length) {
        log.info('preUserCreate:Error');
        throw new Error('Document number already exist.');;
      }
    }

    let documentRs = await insertDocument(docParams);
    userParams = {
      'did': documentRs[0].id,
      'id': event.userName,
      'createdDate': currentDate,
      'updatedDate': currentDate,
      ...userParams
    };
    let userRs = await insertUser([userParams]);
    if (docParams.length && docParams[0].docNumber) {
      let resultData = await getUserAccountFromAPI(docParams[0].docNumber);
      if (resultData) {
        let foramattedData = await formattedAccountsData(resultData, userRs[0].id, documentRs[0].id);
        await insertUserAccounts(foramattedData);
      }
    }
    log.info('preUserCreate:Success');
    event.response = {
      'autoConfirmUser': false,
      'autoVerifyPhone': false,
      'autoVerifyEmail': false
    };
    return event;
  } catch (error) {
    log.info('preUserCreate:Error', error);
    throw (error);
  }
}
